From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: do_swap_page(): fix up the error code

do_swap_page() returns error codes from the VM_FAULT* space.  try_charge()
might return -ENOMEM, though, and then do_swap_page() simply returns 0
which means a success.

We almost never return ENOMEM for GFP_KERNEL single page charge.  Except
for async OOM handling (oom_disabled v1).  So this needs translation to
VM_FAULT_OOM otherwise the the page fault path will not notify the
userspace and wait for an action.
