mm/resource: Return real error codes from walk failures
walk_system_ram_range() can return an error code either becuase *it* failed, or because the 'func' that it calls returned an error. The memory hotplug does the following: ret = walk_system_ram_range(..., func); if (ret) return ret; and 'ret' makes it out to userspace, eventually. The problem s, walk_system_ram_range() failues that result from *it* failing (as opposed to 'func') return -1. That leads to a very odd -EPERM (-1) return code out to userspace. Make walk_system_ram_range() return -EINVAL for internal failures to keep userspace less confused. This return code is compatible with all the callers that I audited.
