Subject: [PATCH] mm/madvise: handle madvise_lock() failure during race unwinding

When unwinding race on -ERESTARTNOINTR handling of process_madvise(),
madvise_lock() failure is ignored.  Check the failure and abort
remaining works in the case.

Fixes: 4000e3d0a367 ("mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()")
