[PATCH v3 7/7] brd: Return -ENOSPC rather than -ENOMEM on page allocation failure

[Matthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com>]

brd is effectively a thinly provisioned device.  Thinly provisioned
devices return -ENOSPC when they can't write a new block.  -ENOMEM is
an implementation detail that callers shouldn't know.
