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

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.
