[Devel] [RFC v17][PATCH 12/60] pids 2/7: Have alloc_pidmap() return actual error code

[Oren Laadan]

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

alloc_pidmap() can fail either because all pid numbers are in use or
because memory allocation failed.  With support for setting a specific
pid number, alloc_pidmap() would also fail if either the given pid
number is invalid or in use.

Rather than have callers assume -ENOMEM, have alloc_pidmap() return
the actual error.
