Subject: [PATCH] fs/9p: fix readdir()

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

Al Viro's IOV changes broke 9p readdir() because the new code
didn't abort the read when it returned nothing. The original
code checked if the combined error/length was <= 0 but in the
new code that accidentally got changed to just an error check.

Add back the return from the function when nothing is read.

Cc: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>
Fixes: e1200fe68f20 ("9p: switch p9_client_read() to passing struct iov_iter *")
