Thanks for this. I can reproduce the failure on my Juno board, so I'd
like to queue this for 4.5 since it fixes a real issue. I've taken the
liberty of rebasing the arm64 part to my fixes branch and writing a
commit message. Does the patch below look ok to you?

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: mm: avoid calling apply_to_page_range on empty range
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Calling apply_to_page_range with an empty range results in a BUG_ON
from the core code. This can be triggered by trying to load the st_drv
module with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX enabled:

  kernel BUG at mm/memory.c:1874!
  Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
  Modules linked in:
  CPU: 3 PID: 1764 Comm: insmod Not tainted 4.5.0-rc1+ #2
  Hardware name: ARM Juno development board (r0) (DT)
  task: ffffffc9763b8000 ti: ffffffc975af8000 task.ti: ffffffc975af8000
  PC is at apply_to_page_range+0x2cc/0x2d0
  LR is at change_memory_common+0x80/0x108

This patch fixes the issue by making change_memory_common (called by the
set_memory_* functions) a NOP when numpages == 0, therefore avoiding the
erroneous call to apply_to_page_range and bringing us into line with x86
and s390.
