Sorry, missed this point. Though it's not correct to embed the
assumption that the zero-page handle will have pfn of 0, but in
general, PFN 0 is always invalid. However, for 0 size requests
zsmalloc returns NULL, so user should be also to pass <PFN=0,offset=0>
pair to this function. However, <PFN=0, offset!=0> is invalid and this
is what this assert checks.
