migrate_vma_setup() checks that a valid vma is passed so that the page
tables can be walked to find the pfns associated with a given address
range. However in some cases the pfns are already known, such as when
migrating device coherent pages during pin_user_pages() meaning a valid
vma isn't required.

Hi Alistair,

Another late-breaking review question, below. :)

Was the above check left out intentionally? If so, then it needs a
commit description note. And maybe even a separate patch, because it
changes the behavior.

If you do want to change the behavior:

* The kerneldoc comment above this function supports such a change: it
requires returning 0 for the case of zero pages requested. So your
change would bring the comments into alignment with the code.

* I don't think memset deals properly with a zero length input arg, so
it's probably better to return 0, before that point.
