The mremap syscall is supposed to return a pointer to the new virtual memory area on success, and a negative value of the error code in case of failure. Currently, EFAULT is returned when the VMA is not found, instead of -EFAULT. The users of this syscall will therefore believe the syscall succeeded in case the VMA didn't exist, as it returns a pointer to address 0xe (0xe being the value of EFAULT). Fix the sign of the error value.

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.
