Subject: [PATCH 4.4 05/47] staging: android: ion: Return an ERR_PTR in ion_map_kernel

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

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

From: Laura Abbott <labbott@...hat.com>

commit 0a2bc00341dcfcc793c0dbf4f8d43adf60458b05 upstream.

The expected return value from ion_map_kernel is an ERR_PTR. The error
path for a vmalloc failure currently just returns NULL, triggering
a warning in ion_buffer_kmap_get. Encode the vmalloc failure as an ERR_PTR.
