[PATCH] xen/gntdev.c: Replace vm_map_pages() with vm_map_pages_zero()

'commit df9bde015a72 ("xen/gntdev.c: convert to use vm_map_pages()")'
breaks gntdev driver. If vma->vm_pgoff > 0, vm_map_pages()
will:
- use map->pages starting at vma->vm_pgoff instead of 0
- verify map->count against vma_pages()+vma->vm_pgoff instead of just
vma_pages().

In practice, this breaks using a single gntdev FD for mapping multiple
grants.

relevant strace output:
[pid 857] ioctl(7, IOCTL_GNTDEV_MAP_GRANT_REF, 0x7ffd3407b6d0) = 0
[pid 857] mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) =
0x777f1211b000
[pid 857] ioctl(7, IOCTL_GNTDEV_SET_UNMAP_NOTIFY, 0x7ffd3407b710) = 0
[pid 857] ioctl(7, IOCTL_GNTDEV_MAP_GRANT_REF, 0x7ffd3407b6d0) = 0
[pid 857] mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7,
0x1000) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)

The reason is -> ( copying Marek's word from discussion)

vma->vm_pgoff is used as index passed to gntdev_find_map_index. It's
basically using this parameter for "which grant reference to map".
map struct returned by gntdev_find_map_index() describes just the pages
to be mapped. Specifically map->pages[0] should be mapped at
vma->vm_start, not vma->vm_start+vma->vm_pgoff*PAGE_SIZE.

When trying to map grant with index (aka vma->vm_pgoff) > 1,
__vm_map_pages() will refuse to map it because it will expect map->count
to be at least vma_pages(vma)+vma->vm_pgoff, while it is exactly
vma_pages(vma).

Converting vm_map_pages() to use vm_map_pages_zero() will fix the
problem.

Marek has tested and confirmed the same.
