Summary

Fuzzing of bhyve using hyfuzz discovered a way to cause a segmentation
fault in the NVMe emulation. If a guest specifies a physical address in
either the PRP1 or PRP2 field of a command that cannot be mapped from
guest to host, the function paddr_guest2host() returns a NULL pointer.
The NVMe emulation did not check for this error case, which allowed for
the segmentation fault to occur.

Fix is to check for a return value of NULL and indicate an error back to
the guest (Data Transfer error). While in the area, slightly refactor
the write/read blockif function to use a common error exit path.
