If val_count is zero we return -EINVAL with map->lock_arg locked, which
will deadlock the kernel next time we try to acquire this lock.
In 3.12, this was introduced by
a0b8d8d906d267987d507138003048c5fdf774
("regmap: fix possible ZERO_SIZE_PTR pointer dereferencing error.")
which improperly back-ported
d6b41cb06044a7d895db82bdd54f6e4219970510.
This issue was found during review of Ubuntu Trusty 3.13.0-40.68 kernel to
prepare Ksplice rebootless updates.
