Ricardo Neri b15d70df6e x86/mpx: Simplify handling of errors when computing linear addresses
When errors occur in the computation of the linear address, -1L is
returned. Rather than having a separate return path for errors, the
variable used to return the computed linear address can be initialized
with the error value. Hence, only one return path is needed. This makes
the function easier to read.

While here, ensure that the error value is -1L, a 64-bit value, rather
than -1, a 32-bit value.
