Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] mm/gup: finish consolidating error handling

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

An upcoming patch wants to be able to operate on each page that
get_user_pages has retrieved. In order to do that, it's best to
have a common exit point from the routine. Most of this has been
taken care of by commit df06b37ffe5a4 ("mm/gup: cache dev_pagemap while
pinning pages"), but there was one case remaining.

Also, there was still an unnecessary shadow declaration (with a
different type) of the "ret" variable, which this commit removes.
