This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm/memblock.c: check return value of memblock_reserve() in memblock_virt_alloc_internal()
memblock_reserve() would add a new range to memblock.reserved in case the
new range is not totally covered by any of the current memblock.reserved
range. If the memblock.reserved is full and can't resize,
memblock_reserve() would fail.
This doesn't happen in real world now, I observed this during code review.
While theoretically, it has the chance to happen. And if it happens,
others would think this range of memory is still available and may corrupt
the memory.
This patch checks the return value and goto "done" after it succeeds.
