Subject: [PATCH 2/5] iommu/amd: Do not loop forever when trying to increase address space

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

When increase_address_space() fails to allocate memory, alloc_pte()
will call it again until it succeeds. Do not loop forever while trying
to increase the address space and just return an error instead.
