Hi!

echo 0 0 linear /dev/vg/play 0 | dmsetup create test

produces the following oops:

What happens?

In __bind size = dm_table_get_size(t) correctly returns zero, the
reference isn't gotten and do_resume destroys the table, but the
map already got set.

I don't think that zero targets should be allowed, so this should
probably also be checked:
