Subject: [PATCH] mm: do not inc NR_PAGETABLE if ptlock_init failed

If ALLOC_SPLIT_PTLOCKS is defined, ptlock_init may fail, in which case
we shouldn't increment NR_PAGETABLE.

Since small allocations, such as ptlock, normally do not fail (currently
they can fail if kmemcg is used though), this patch does not really fix
anything and should be considered as a code cleanup.
