mm: fail prefaulting if page table allocation fails
I ran into this:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/page_alloc.c:3784
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 1434, name: trinity-c1
2 locks held by trinity-c1/1434:

#1: (rcu_read_lock){......}, at: [<ffffffff81378f86>] filemap_map_pages+0xd6/0xdd0

The important bits from the above is that filemap_map_pages() is calling
into the page allocator while holding rcu_read_lock (sleeping is not
allowed inside RCU read-side critical sections).
According to Kirill Shutemov, the prefaulting code in do_fault_around()
is supposed to take care of this, but missing error handling means that
the allocation failure can go unnoticed.
We don't need to return VM_FAULT_OOM (or any other error) here, since we
can just let the normal fault path try again.
Fixes: 7267ec008b5c ("mm: postpone page table allocation until we have page to map")
