Vq log_base is the userspace address of bitmap which has nothing to do
with IOTLB. So it needs to be validated unconditionally otherwise we
may try use 0 as log_base which may lead to pin pages that will lead
unexpected result (e.g trigger BUG_ON() in set_bit_to_user()).

Fixes: 6b1e6cc7855b0 ("vhost: new device IOTLB API")

One follow-up question:

We still observe that get user pages returns 0 sometimes. While I agree
we should not pass in unvalidated addresses, isn't this worth
documenting?
	


Looking at get_user_pages_fast(), it has:

    if (unlikely(!access_ok(write ? VERIFY_WRITE : VERIFY_READ,
                    (void __user *)start, len)))
        return 0;

So this is expected I think.

Thanks
