Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] powerpc/vdso: Refactor error handling
Linus noticed that the error handling in __arch_setup_additional_pages()
fails to clear the mm VDSO pointer if _install_special_mapping()
fails. In practice there should be no actual bug, because if there's an
error the VDSO pointer is cleared later in arch_setup_additional_pages().
However it's no longer necessary to set the pointer before installing
the mapping. Commit c1bab64360e6 ("powerpc/vdso: Move to
_install_special_mapping() and remove arch_vma_name()") reworked the
code so that the VMA name comes from the vm_special_mapping.name, rather
than relying on arch_vma_name().
So rework the code to only set the VDSO pointer once the mappings have
been installed correctly, and remove the stale comment.
Depends-on: c1bab64360e6 ("powerpc/vdso: Move to _install_special_mapping() and remove arch_vma_name()")
