As the test robot points out pgoff_t is unsigned, so the <0 test makes
no sense. But apart from that it looks good to me.
I think this is worth a "Fixes:" line too - as you point out
drm_vma_node_unmap() won't be working correctly - which means we're
potentially leaving user space with pages pointing to freed memory - not
good! 17acb9f35ed7 is my best guess at the commit that introduced this.
