memory: exit early from memory_exchange() upon write-back error

There's no point in continuing if in the end we'll return -EFAULT
anyway. It also seems wrong to report a chunk for which at least one
write-back failed as successfully exchanged (albeit the indication of
an error is also not fully correct, as the exchange happened in that
case at least partially - retrieving the GFN to assign the memory to
and/or handing back the information on the replacement memory didn't
work). In any case limiting the amount of damage done to the guest
can't be all that bad an idea.
