Commit c09f56b8f68d ("net/sunrpc: Fix return value for sysctl
sunrpc.transports") attempted to add error checking for the call to
memory_read_from_buffer(), however its return value was assigned to a
size_t variable, so any negative values would be lost in the cast. Fix
this.

Whoops, got 3 independent patches for this and overlooked this one.  See

That looks like a cleaner fix. Thanks for looking anyhow and sorry for
the noise!
