[PATCH 3/4] mm/gup: make failure to pin an error if FOLL_NOWAIT not specified

[Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@gmail.com>]

There really should be no circumstances under which a non-FOLL_NOWAIT GUP
operation fails to return any pages, so make this an error.

To catch the trivial case, simply exit early if nr_pages == 0.

This brings __get_user_pages_locked() in line with the behaviour of its
nommu variant.
