[PATCH v2 3/3] mm: return -ENOMEM for page-table allocation failure in insert_pages()

[Avi Weiss]

populate_to_pmd() returns NULL only when p4d_alloc(), pud_alloc(), or
pmd_alloc() fails. These are page-table allocation failures, but
insert_pages() currently reports them as -EFAULT.

Return -ENOMEM instead, consistent with the subsequent pte_alloc()
failure and with the single-page insert_page() path, which reports
failure of the same page-table allocation chain as -ENOMEM.

Address and range validation failures in vm_insert_pages() continue to
return -EFAULT. Keep the later -EFAULT return for
pte_offset_map_lock(), which is not an allocation failure.
