From: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>

The backport of upstream commit c8070b787519 ("mm: Don't pin ZERO_PAGE
in pin_user_pages()") into v6.1.130 noted below in Fixes does not
account for commit 0f0892356fa1 ("mm: allow multiple error returns in
try_grab_page()"), which changed the return value of try_grab_page()
from bool to int.  Therefore returning 0, success in the upstream
version, becomes an error here.  Fix the return value.
