Subject: [PATCH] fuse: Fix fuse_get_user_pages() return value

fuse_direct_io() expects this to return either 0 or a negative
error code, but on success it may return a positive value.
fuse_direct_io() may return this same value when the subsequent
I/O operation doesn't transfer any data, which means that it will
return a positive value when no bytes were transferred. This is
obviously problematic.

Fix fuse_get_user_pages() to return 0 on success. This will in
turn make it so that fuse_direct_io() returns 0 if no bytes are
transferred.

Fixes: 742f992708df ("fuse: return patrial success from fuse_direct_io()")
