[PATCH 3.14 37/77] misc: genwqe: check for error from get_user_pages_fast()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx>

commit cf35d6e0475982667b0d2d318fb27be4b8849827 upstream.

`genwqe_user_vmap()` calls `get_user_pages_fast()` and if the return
value is less than the number of pages requested, it frees the pages and
returns an error (`-EFAULT`).  However, it fails to consider a negative
error return value from `get_user_pages_fast()`.  In that case, the test
`if (rc < m->nr_pages)` will be false (due to promotion of `rc` to a
large `unsigned int`) and the code will continue on to call
`genwqe_map_pages()` with an invalid list of page pointers.  Fix it by
bailing out if `get_user_pages_fast()` returns a negative error value.
