[PATCH] kvm: consistently return 0/-errno from kvm_convert_memory

[PATCH] kvm: consistently return 0/-errno from kvm_convert_memory

[Paolo Bonzini]

In case of incorrect parameters, kvm_convert_memory() was returning
-1 instead of -EINVAL.  The guest won't notice because it will move
anyway to RUN_STATE_INTERNAL_ERROR, but fix this for consistency and
clarity.

I think we need add more clarification about "guest".

kvm_convert_memory() is also used to service the request of 
KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE from guest since commit 47e76d03b155 ("i386/kvm: 
Add KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL handling for KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE"). It might 
need to return error back to guest in case of incorrect parameters, in 
the future.

For the code change,
