5.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit 5cd401ace914dc68556c6d2fcae0c349444d5f86 ]
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.
