Both set_memory_ro() and set_memory_rw() will modify the page
attributes of at least one page, even if the numpages parameter is
zero.
The author expected that calling these functions with numpages == zero
would never happen. However with the new 444d13ff10 ("modules: add
ro_after_init support") feature this happens frequently.
Therefore do the right thing and make these two functions return
gracefully if nothing should be done.
Fixes crashes on module load like this one:
