These routines are not intended to return zero, the callers cannot do
anything sane with a 0 return. They should return an error which means
future calls to GUP will not succeed, or they should return some non-zero
number of pinned pages which means GUP should be called again.

If start + nr_pages overflows it should return -EOVERFLOW to signal the
arguments are invalid.

Syzkaller keeps tripping on this when fuzzing GUP arguments.

I'm curious if there is any sane use case where that could actually trigger. Smells like something that should be a WARN_ON_ONCE(), but maybe some callers simply pass through what user-space gave them.

Anyhow.
