If mas_store_gfp() in the gather loop failed, the 'error' variable that
ultimately gets returned was not being set. In many cases, its original
value of -ENOMEM was still in place, and that was fine. But if VMAs had
been split at the start or end of the range, then 'error' could be zero.
Change to the 'error = foo(); if (error) goto …' idiom to fix the bug.
Also clean up a later case which avoided the same bug by *explicitly*
setting error = -ENOMEM right before calling the function that might
return -ENOMEM.
In a final cosmetic change, move the 'Point of no return' comment to
*after* the goto. That's been in the wrong place since the preallocation
was removed, and this new error path was added.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
