Subject: iio: querying buffer scan_mask should return 0/1

commit 2076a20fc1a06f7b0333c62a2bb4eeeac7ed1bcb upstream.

Ensure that querying the IIO buffer scan_mask returns a value of
0 or 1. Currently querying the scan mask has the value returned
by test_bit(), which returns either true or false. For some
architectures test_bit() may return -1 for true, which will appear
to return an error when returning from iio_scan_mask_query().

Additionally, it's important for the sysfs interface to consistently
return the same thing when querying the scan_mask.
