[v3 09/24] mm: handle walk_page_range() failure from THP split

[Usama Arif <usama.arif@linux.dev>]

walk_pmd_range() splits a huge PMD when a page table walker with
pte_entry or install_pte callbacks needs PTE-level granularity. If
the split fails due to memory allocation failure in pte_alloc_one(),
walk_pte_range() would encounter a huge PMD instead of a PTE page
table.

Break out of the loop on split failure and return -ENOMEM to the
walker's caller. Callers that reach this path (those with pte_entry
or install_pte set) such as mincore, hmm_range_fault and
queue_pages_range already handle negative return values from
walk_page_range(). Similar approach is taken when __pte_alloc()
fails in walk_pmd_range().
