If all pte entry is none in 'non-create' case, we would break the loop with
pte unchanged.  Then the wrong pte - 1 would be passed to pte_unmap_unlock.
This is a theoretical issue which may not be a real bug. So it's not worth
cc stable.

Fixes: aee16b3cee27 ("Add apply_to_page_range() which applies a function to a pte range")
