Subject: [PATCH 2/4] I/OAT: fix dma_pin_iovec_pages() error handling

From: Maciej Sosnowski <maciej.sosnowski@...el.com>

Error handling needs to be modified in dma_pin_iovec_pages().
It should return NULL instead of ERR_PTR
(pinned_list is checked for NULL in tcp_recvmsg() to determine
if iovec pages have been successfully pinned down).
In case of error for the first iovec,
local_list->nr_iovecs needs to be initialized.
