From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 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.
