When the loop over the VMA is terminated early due to an error, the return code could be overwritten with ENOMEM. Fix the return code by only setting the error on early loop termination when the error is not set.

User-visible effects include: attempts to run mprotect() against a special mapping or with a poorly-aligned hugetlb address should return -EINVAL, but they presently return -ENOMEM.
