regmap: fix kernel hang on regmap_bulk_write with zero val_count.

Fixes commit 2f06fa04 which was an
incorrect backported version of commit
d6b41cb0 upstream.

If val_count is zero we return -EINVAL with map->lock_arg locked, which
will deadlock the kernel next time we try to acquire this lock.

This was introduced by f5942dd ("regmap: fix possible ZERO_SIZE_PTR pointer
dereferencing error.") which improperly back-ported d6b41cb0.

This issue was found during review of Ubuntu Trusty 3.13.0-40.68 kernel to
prepare Ksplice rebootless updates.

Fixes: f5942dd ("regmap: fix possible ZERO_SIZE_PTR pointer dereferencing error.")
