s390/pageattr: handle numpages parameter correctly
Both set_memory_ro() and set_memory_rw() will modify the page attributes of at least one page, even if the numpages parameter is zero. The author expected that calling these functions with numpages == zero would never happen. However with the new 444d13ff10fb ("modules: add ro_after_init support") feature this happens frequently. Therefore do the right thing and make these two functions return gracefully if nothing should be done. Fixes crashes on module load like this one: Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space Failing address: 000003ff80008000 TEID: 000003ff80008407 Fault in home space mode while using kernel ASCE.
