An empty gather is coded with start=U64_MAX, end=0 and several drivers go
on to convert that to a size with:
end - start + 1
Which gives 2 for an empty gather. This then causes Weird Stuff to
happen (for example an UBSAN splat in VT-d) that is hopefully harmless,
but maybe not.
Prevent drivers from being called right in iommu_iotlb_sync().
Auditing shows that AMD, Intel, Mediatek and RSIC-V drivers all do things
on these empty gathers.
Further, there are several callers that can trigger empty gathers,
especially in unusual conditions. For example iommu_map_nosync() will call
a 0 size unmap on some error paths. Also in VFIO, iommupt and other
places.
