Subject: powerpc/kvm: Fix kvm_use_magic_page
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0c8eb2884a42d992c7726539328b7d3568f22143 upstream.
When switching from __get_user to fault_in_pages_readable, commit
9f9eae5ce717 broke kvm_use_magic_page: like __get_user,
fault_in_pages_readable returns 0 on success.
Fixes: 9f9eae5ce717 ("powerpc/kvm: Prefer fault_in_pages_readable function")
