[PATCH hotfix 6.12 v2] mm/mlock: set the correct prev on failure

[Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@gmail.com>]

After commit 94d7d9233951 ("mm: abstract the vma_merge()/split_vma()
pattern for mprotect() et al."), if vma_modify_flags() return error, the
vma is set to an error code. This will lead to an invalid prev be
returned.

Generally this shouldn't matter as the caller should treat an error as
indicating state is now invalidated, however unfortunately
apply_mlockall_flags() does not check for errors and assumes that
mlock_fixup() correctly maintains prev even if an error were to occur.

This patch fixes that assumption.

[lorenzo: provide a better fix and rephrase the log]

Fixes: 94d7d9233951 ("mm: abstract the vma_merge()/split_vma() pattern for mprotect() et al.")
