Subject: [PATCH -V9 02/15] hugetlb: don't use ERR_PTR with VM_FAULT* values

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

The current use of VM_FAULT_* codes with ERR_PTR requires us to ensure
VM_FAULT_* values will not exceed MAX_ERRNO value. Decouple the
VM_FAULT_* values from MAX_ERRNO.
