Igor Torrente ced17ee32a Revert "virtio: reject shm region if length is zero"
The commit 206cc44588 ("virtio: reject shm region if length is zero")
breaks the Virtio-gpu `host_visible` feature.

As you can see in the snippet below, host_visible_region is zero because
of the `kzalloc`.  It's using the `vm_get_shm_region`
(drivers/virtio/virtio_mmio.c:536) to read the `addr` and `len` from
qemu/crosvm.

```
drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_kms.c
132         vgdev = drmm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct virtio_gpu_device), GFP_KERNEL);
[...]
177         if (virtio_get_shm_region(vgdev->vdev, &vgdev->host_visible_region,
178                                   VIRTIO_GPU_SHM_ID_HOST_VISIBLE)) {
```
Now it always fails.

To fix, revert the offending commit.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
