None of the callers that we have today will accept anything less than
ret == nr_frames. And the whole partially pinned region idea turns out
to be just not useful for almost everyone, from what I recall of the gup/pup
call sites. So I wonder if we should just have get_vaddr_frames do the
cleanup here and return -EFAULT, if ret != nr_frames ?
