i2c-core: Return -Errno, not -1

Browse Source 
More updates to the I2C stack's fault reporting:  make the core stop
returning "-1" (usually "-EPERM") for all faults.  Instead, pass lower
level fault code up the stack, or return some appropriate errno.

This patch happens to touch almost exclusively SMBus calls.
