[PATCH] coresight: Fix signedness bug in tmc_etr_buf_insert_barrier_packet()

This code generates a Smatch warning:

    drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c:947 tmc_etr_buf_insert_barrier_packet()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'bufp'.

The problem is that if tmc_sg_table_get_data() returns -EINVAL, then
when we test if "len < CORESIGHT_BARRIER_PKT_SIZE", the negative "len"
value is type promoted to a high unsigned long value which is greater
than CORESIGHT_BARRIER_PKT_SIZE.  Fix this bug by adding an explicit
check for error codes.
