hmm, sorry, i was testing it on chromeos 4.4 kernel, it turns out that 
we have a custom ioctl for userspace to create gem buffer(the same as 
exynos drm), which might get the the 0 size.

but on upstream kernel, it could only be called by dump_create, and the 
drm_mode_create_dumb_ioctl already did the size check.

will resent this patch, and rewrite the commit message, thanx.
