From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 325fda71d0badc1073dc59f12a948f24ff05796a upstream. Otherwise vmalloc_to_page() will BUG(). This also makes the kmem read/write implementation aligned with mem(4): "References to nonexistent locations cause errors to be returned." Here we return -ENXIO (inspired by Hugh) if no bytes have been transfered to/from user space, otherwise return partial read/write results.
