Subject: [PATCH] kernel/fork.c : remove local 'oldmm' and retval

Subject: [PATCH] kernel/fork.c : remove local 'oldmm' and retval

 Local oldmm is used only for increaing mm_users field
 in current->mm. When clone_flags have a CLONE_VM flag,
 current->mm is assigning to local 'mm'.
 Local retval is used only for returning -ENOMEM value.
 When dup_mm() is failed, just return -ENOMEM.
