[PATCH] KVM: arm64: Return on kvm_gmem_get_pfn() failure in gmem_abort()

The kvm-arm64/mmu-fixes-7.4 merge dropped the return from the
kvm_gmem_get_pfn() error path in gmem_abort(). Both parents of the
merge keep that return. On a failed kvm_gmem_get_pfn(), gmem_abort()
then carries on with a zero pfn, and on a nested stage-2 it uses the
mapping it has just freed.

Restore the return.

Notes:
    I went through the rest of the merge's conflict resolution with
    git show --remerge-diff, and this is the only line it dropped.
