Subject: [PATCH 4.9 070/120] extcon: return error code on failure

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@....com>

commit 5b11ebedd6a8bb4271b796e498cd15c0fe1133b6 upstream.

Function get_zeroed_page() returns a NULL pointer if there is no enough
memory. In function extcon_sync(), it returns 0 if the call to
get_zeroed_page() fails. The return value 0 indicates success in the
context, which is incosistent with the execution status. This patch
fixes the bug by returning -ENOMEM.
