3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@xxxxxx>
commit 530fcd16d87cd2417c472a581ba5a1e501556c86 upstream.
When !CONFIG_MMU there's a chance we can derefence a NULL pointer when the
VM area isn't found - check the return value of find_vma().
Also, remove the redundant -EINVAL return: retval is set to the proper
return code and *only* changed to 0, when we actually unmap the segments.
