Subject: [PATCH] iommufd: Reject invalid read count in
 iommufd_fault_fops_read()

The read count must be large enough to hold one fault or a group's faults.

iommufd_fault_fops_read() does not validate the count, but returns 0 as if
the read had succeeded while leaving the pending fault in the queue.

Return -EINVAL in the undersize cases.
