misc: genwqe: check for error from get_user_pages_fast()
`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.
