Being a bit nitpicky/refactory here, but anon_vma_clone() appears to have
two possible return values - 0 for success, and -ENOMEM.

As a result, it's not really gaining us much passing through this value.

It'd be nice if dup_anon_vma() and anon_vma_clone() were therefore updated
to instead return NULL on ENOMEM and the dst otherwise.

Then we could de-clunk this whole code path, and the quite natural fact of
'thing didn't return a pointer therefore had no memory to allocate it' fals
out.

But this isn't exactly an earth-shattering concern :)

Other than the nice-to-have, this looks good to me:
