devmem: check vmalloc address on kmem read/write
 
Otherwise vmalloc_to_page() will BUG().

This also makes the kmem read/write implementation aligned with mem(4):
"References to nonexistent locations cause errors to be returned." Here we
return -ENXIO (inspired by Hugh) if no bytes have been transfered to/from
user space, otherwise return partial read/write results.
