Yang Shi 653d9e0c55 mm: mempolicy: fix the wrong return value and potential pages leak of mbind 
commit a85dfc305a upstream.

Commit d883544515 ("mm: mempolicy: make the behavior consistent when
MPOL_MF_MOVE* and MPOL_MF_STRICT were specified") fixed the return value
of mbind() for a couple of corner cases.  But, it altered the errno for
some other cases, for example, mbind() should return -EFAULT when part
or all of the memory range specified by nodemask and maxnode points
outside your accessible address space, or there was an unmapped hole in
the specified memory range specified by addr and len.

Fix this by preserving the errno returned by queue_pages_range().  And,
the pagelist may be not empty even though queue_pages_range() returns
error, put the pages back to LRU since mbind_range() is not called to
really apply the policy so those pages should not be migrated, this is
also the old behavior before the problematic commit.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
