[PATCH v3 0/2] mm/memory: improve insert_pages() error handling

[Avi Weiss <thnkslprpt@gmail.com>]

Improve insert_pages() error handling.

The first patch simplifies error handling by initializing the error
status to zero and assigning error codes at their respective failure
sites.

The second patch returns -ENOMEM when walk_to_pmd() fails. A NULL
return from walk_to_pmd() indicates failure to allocate an upper
page-table level, so -ENOMEM is more appropriate than -EFAULT and is
consistent with the subsequent pte_alloc() failure.

Changes in v3:

* drop the walk_to_pmd() rename following review
* use the mm/memory: prefix consistently across the series
* carry review tags from v2
* rebase onto current mm-new
