Make pin_user_pages*() leave the ZERO_PAGE unpinned if it extracts a
pointer to it from the page tables and make unpin_user_page*()
correspondingly ignore the ZERO_PAGE when unpinning. We don't want to risk
overrunning the zero page's refcount as we're only allowed ~2 million pins
on it - something that userspace can conceivably trigger.
