Subject: [PATCH] mm: Fail when offset == num in first check of
 vm_map_pages_zero()

If the user asks us for offset == num, we should already fail in the
first check, i.e. the one testing for offsets beyond the object.

At the moment, we are failing on the second test anyway,
since count cannot be 0. Still, to agree with the comment of the first
test, we should first there.
