Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: fix error return value in cmm_mem_going_offline

cmm_mem_going_offline is (only) called from cmm_memory_cb(), which
sends the return value through notifier_from_errno(). The latter
expects 0 or -errno (notifier_to_errno(notifier_from_errno(x)) is 0
for any x >= 0, so passing a positive value cannot make sense). Hence
negate ENOMEM.
