This conflicted with the riscv pull.

[PULL 1/2] linux-user: allow a zero-length getrandom with a NULL buffer

[Helge Deller]

From: TAKANO Mitsuhiro <takano32@gmail.com>

The kernel never looks at the buffer of a zero-length request, so
getrandom(NULL, 0, 0) returns 0.  qemu-user hands the request to
lock_user() unconditionally, and a NULL or otherwise unusable address
fails there with EFAULT even though nothing is copied.

read(), write(), pread64() and pwrite64() already special-case the
zero-length request; do the same here.  The address plays no part in it:
with a zero length it is never dereferenced, whatever value the caller
passes.

[PULL 2/2] linux-user: report EFAULT for a NULL sysinfo/getitimer buffer

[Helge Deller]

From: TAKANO Mitsuhiro <takano32@gmail.com>

Both handlers skip the copy-out when the guest pointer is zero and return
success, so a caller that forgets the buffer gets an uninitialised result
instead of the EFAULT the kernel reports for a NULL address.

Copy unconditionally: a NULL pointer then fails in lock_user_struct() and
in copy_to_user_timeval() like any other unusable address.
