KVM_HVA_ERR_RO_BAD satisfies kvm_is_error_hva(), so there's no need to
duplicate the "if (writable)" block. Fix this by bringing all
kvm_is_error_hva() cases under one conditional.

Similar to an earlier patch, preferred style for terminal if-statements is

		if (addr == KVM_HVA_ERR_RO_BAD)
			return KVM_PFN_ERR_RO_FAULT;

		return KVM_PFN_NOSLOT;

Again, there are reasons for the style/rule.  In this case, it will yield a smaller
diff (obviously not a huge deal, but helpful), and it makes it more obvious that
the taken path of "if (kvm_is_error_hva(addr))" is itself terminal.

Alternatively, a ternary operator is often used for these types of things, though
in this case I much prefer the above, as I find the below hard to read.

		return addr == KVM_HVA_ERR_RO_BAD ? KVM_PFN_ERR_RO_FAULT :
						    KVM_PFN_NOSLOT;

Done

(somebody please let me know if these short "ack"/"done" messages are
frowned upon btw. Nobody's complained about it so far, but I'm not
sure if people consider it spam)

I personally think that ack/done messages that don't add anything else to the
conversation are useless.   The bar for "anything else" can be very low, e.g. a
simple "gotcha" can be valuable if it wraps up a conversation, but "accepting"
every piece of feedback is a waste of everyone's time IMO as the expectation is
that all review feedback will be addressed, either by a follow-up conversation or
by modifying the patch in the next version, i.e. by *not* pushing back you are
implicitly accepting feedback.

And an "ack/done" isn't binding, i.e. doesn't magically morph into code and guarantee
that the next version of the patch will actually contain the requested changes.
