From: Jan Kara jack@suse.cz
[ Upstream commit 592e254502041f953e84d091eae2c68cba04c10b ]
_calc_vm_trans() does not handle the situation when some of the passed flags are 0 (which can happen if these VM flags do not make sense for the architecture). Improve the _calc_vm_trans() macro to return 0 in such situation. Since all passed flags are constant, this does not add any runtime overhead.
