mm: fix error case in mlock downgrade reversion
Commit 27421e211a39784694b597dbf35848b88363c248, Manually revert "mlock: downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions", has introduced its own regression: __mlock_vma_pages_range() may report an error (for example, -EFAULT from trying to lock down pages from beyond EOF), but mlock_vma_pages_range() must hide that from its callers as before.
