Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] mm: get_user_pages: consolidate error handling

From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@...dia.com>

An upcoming patch requires a way to operate on each page that
any of the get_user_pages_*() variants returns.

In preparation for that, consolidate the error handling for
__get_user_pages(). This provides a single location (the "out:" label)
for operating on the collected set of pages that are about to be returned.

As long every use of the "ret" variable is being edited, rename
"ret" --> "err", so that its name matches its true role.
This also gets rid of two shadowed variable declarations, as a
tiny beneficial a side effect.
