mm/gup: protect unpin_user_pages() against npages==-ERRNO
As suggested by Dan Carpenter, fortify unpin_user_pages() just a bit, against a typical caller mistake: check if the npages arg is really a -ERRNO value, which would blow up the unpinning loop: WARN and return. If this new WARN_ON() fires, then the system *might* be leaking pages (by leaving them pinned), but probably not. More likely, gup/pup returned a hard -ERRNO error to the caller, who erroneously passed it here.
