Thanks for the fix and finding the issue.  Please email the maintainers
of the file as well as the patch author next time.

Right now, the akpm/mm-unstable git id of the patch this needs to squash
into is 5887a7ac23836.  Although, this will leave intermittent patches
to return the incorrect error code.

Initially it was introduced in commit c2eb22189bbc9, so I'd like to fix
this in the series so that it doesn't show up in any bisection.

All code paths that exist today in vms_gather_munmap_vmas() can only
return -EPERM and -ENOMEM. So filtering isn't really necessary right
now.  But then again, vms_gather_munmap_vmas() is only used in two
places and this filters one return, but not the other.

I think it best to address this in vms_gather_munmap_vmas() to only
return -ENOMEM or -EPERM.

I will fix this in my series, thanks Jeff.
