KVM: s390: fix ESSA addressing exception injection in migration mode
__do_essa() treated any negative return from dat_perform_essa() as the
normal "no CBRL entry appended" case and returned 0, so a page-table
walk failure silently dropped the addressing exception.

[Severity: High]
Would this mask other valid, positive Program Interruption Codes (PICs)
that dat_entry_walk() might return?
For example, if dat_entry_walk() returns PGM_SECURE_STORAGE_ACCESS from
hitting a memory hole, it appears it would be unconditionally mapped to
-PGM_ADDRESSING here.

[Severity: High]
Can passing -PGM_ADDRESSING to kvm_s390_inject_program_int() result in an
invalid program interruption code being injected?
Since the code argument of kvm_s390_inject_program_int() is an unsigned u16,
passing -5 causes an integer wraparound to 65531 (0xFFFB). This would inject
a corrupt exception state and violate the architectural ABI instead of
injecting the correct Addressing Exception (0x0005).
Regarding the test_essa_migration_pgm selftest added in a subsequent
patch, it appears it fails to catch this regression because its
exception handler pgm_handler_c() hardcodes a GUEST_SYNC(PGM_ADDRESSING)
call without actually reading the true PIC from the guest's lowcore
(__LC_PGM_INT_CODE).
