bus-polkit: don't propagate error from polkit

An error reply from polkit is a valid case and should not be propagated
as failure of async_polkit_callback(). It should only be saved here.
It'll be returned by bus_verify_polkit_async() later, when it's called
for the same method again.

Follow-up for #26365.
