While this change keeps the similar effect as before it leads to different
policy for same type of errors between pin and unpin paths:
e.g.
vfio_unpin_pages():
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!user_pfn || !npage || !vfio_assert_device_open(device)))
return;
vfio_pin_pages():
if (!user_pfn || !phys_pfn || !npage ||
!vfio_assert_device_open(device))
return -EINVAL;
It sounds a bit weird when reading related code...
