If get_user_pages() returns less pages than what we asked for, we jump
to out_unmap which will return ERR_PTR(ret).  But ret can contain a
positive number just smaller than local_nr_pages, so be sure to set it
to -EFAULT always.

Problem found and diagnosed by Damien Le Moal <damien@sdl.hitachi.co.jp>
