When detecting packet discontinuity, handle_in_packet() returns minus value
and this value is assigned to unsigned int variable, then the variable has
huge value. As a result, the variable causes buffer-over-run in
handle_out_packet(). This brings invalid page request and system hangup.

This commit fixes the bug to add a new argument into handle_in_packet()
and the number of handled data blocks is assignd to it. The function
return value is just used to check error.

I also considered to change the type of local variable to 'int' in
in_stream_callback(). This idea is based on type-conversion in C standard,
while it may cause future problems when adding more works. Thus, I dropped
this idea.
