[ Upstream commit ced17ee32a9988b8a260628e7c31a100d7dc082e ]

The commit 206cc44588f7 ("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.
