So it needs to be validated unconditionally otherwise we may try use 0 as log_base which may lead to pin pages that will lead unexpected result (e.g trigger BUG_ON() in set_bit_to_user()).

While I agree we should not pass in unvalidated addresses, isn't this worth documenting?
Looking at get_user_pages_fast(), it has: if (unlikely(!access_ok(write ? VERIFY_WRITE : VERIFY_READ, (void __user *)start, len))) return 0; So this is expected I think.
