[PATCH 3/3] ksm: mremap use err from ksm_madvise

[Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk>]

mremap move's use of ksm_madvise() was assuming -ENOMEM on failure,
because ksm_madvise used to say -EAGAIN for that; but ksm_madvise now
says -ENOMEM (letting madvise convert that to -EAGAIN), and can also
say -ERESTARTSYS when signalled: so pass the error from ksm_madvise.
