Subject: netfs: fix error handling in netfs_extract_user_iter()

From: Paulo Alcantara <[email protected]>

commit 0aad5704c6b4d14007d4eab15883e8524e4310f4 upstream.

In netfs_extract_user_iter(), if iov_iter_extract_pages() failed to
extract user pages, bail out on -ENOMEM, otherwise return the error
code only if @npages == 0, allowing short DIO reads and writes to be
issued.

This fixes mmapstress02 from LTP tests against CIFS.
