Allow hmm_range_fault() to return success (0) when the range has no access (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_READ)). The range->pfns[] array will be filled with range->values[HMM_PFN_NONE] in this case. This allows the caller to get a snapshot of a range without having to lookup the vma before calling hmm_range_fault(). If the call to hmm_range_fault() is not a snapshot, the caller can still check that pfns have the desired access permissions.
