  handle_rerror can dereference the pages pointer, but it is not
necessarily set for small payloads.
In practice these should be filtered out by the size check, but
might as well double-check explicitly.

This fixes the following scan-build warnings:
net/9p/trans_virtio.c:401:24: warning: Dereference of null pointer [core.NullDereference]
                memcpy_from_page(to, *pages++, offs, n);
                                     ^~~~~~~~
net/9p/trans_virtio.c:406:23: warning: Dereference of null pointer (loaded from variable 'pages') [core.NullDereference]
        memcpy_from_page(to, *pages, offs, size);
                             ^~~~~~
