When a page fault occurs during a direct I/O, iomap_dio_rw can currently return 0 when a page cannot be accessed. In that case, -EFAULT should be returned instead. (For reads, a return value of 0 indicates the end of file.) Fix that by casting the return value of iomap_apply from 0 to -EFAULT: in that position, we know that we should have been able to read something.
