pagemap: require aligned-length, non-null reads of /proc/pid/pagemap



The intention of commit aae8679b
("pagemap: fix bug in add_to_pagemap, require aligned-length reads of
/proc/pid/pagemap") was to force reads of /proc/pid/pagemap to be a
multiple of 8 bytes, but now it allows to read 0 bytes, which actually
puts some data to user's buffer.  According to POSIX, if count is zero,
read() should return zero and has no other results.
