From: Ahmad Fatoum <[email protected]>

ftruncate() and fstat() return a negative error code, not -1, so the
command only noticed an -EPERM and otherwise exited with 0 even when the
file wasn't resized, e.g. on a size ubootvarfs has no room for.

Let's check for any negative return value instead.

Fixes: f59a9574c22c ("commands: add new truncate command")
