Commit d70f2a14b72a4 ("include/linux/sched/mm.h: uninline
mmdrop_async(), etc") ignored the return value of arch_dup_mmap(). As a
result, on x86, a failure to duplicate the LDT (e.g., due to memory
allocation error), would leave the duplicated memory mapping in an
inconsistent state.
Fix by regarding the return value, as it was before the change.
