vm_map_ram check return value of vb_alloc by IS_ERR. if
vm_map_ram(page, 0, 0) , vb_alloc(0, GFP_KERNEL) would return NULL
which cause kernel panic by vmap_pages_range_noflush。fix this by
return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) if size is 0.
Signed-off-by: Hailong.Liu <hailong.liu@oppo.com>

Changes since v1 [1]:
- Return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) or not check IS_ERR_OR_NULL
BTW, Barry suggests me that if count is 0, return directly, in my
opinion, change return value is more resonable.

Hi Barry,
Hi Barry, I use ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) to keep consistency with the return
value of the function alloc_vmap_area.
if (unlikely(!size || offset_in_page(size) || !is_power_of_2(align)))
return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
IMO, ZERO_SIZE_PTR is used by slab and can not be catched by IS_ERR().
