4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jason Wang <jasow...@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit 816db7663565cd23f74ed3d5c9240522e3fb0dda ]
When fail, translate_desc() returns negative value, otherwise the
number of iovs. So we should fail when the return value is negative
instead of a blindly check against zero.
