[PATCH v4] exec: set map length to zero when returning NULL

[P J P]

From: Prasad J Pandit <address@hidden>

When mapping physical memory into host's virtual address space,
'address_space_map' may return NULL if BounceBuffer is in_use.
Set and return '*plen = 0' to avoid later NULL pointer dereference.
