Fix the loop check in netfs_extract_user_to_sg() for extraction from
user-backed iterators to do the body if npages > 0, not if npages < 0
(which it can never be).
This isn't currently used by cifs, which only ever extracts data from BVEC,
KVEC and XARRAY iterators at this level, user-backed iterators having being
decanted into BVEC iterators at a higher level to accommodate the work
being done in a kernel thread.
Found by smatch:
fs/netfs/iterator.c:139 netfs_extract_user_to_sg() warn: unsigned 'npages' is never less than zero.
Fixes: 0185846975 ("netfs: Add a function to extract an iterator into a scatterlist")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
