[PATCH v1] mm/madvise: pass return code of memory_failure() to userspace

[Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com>]

Currently the return value of memory_failure() is not passed to userspace, which
is inconvenient for test programs that want to know the result of error handling.
So let's return it to the caller as we already do in MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE case.
