Subject: [v11][PATCH 2/9] Have alloc_pidmap() return actual error code

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.
