powerpc: Fix oops when echoing bad values to /sys/devices/system/memory/probe

If we echo an address the hypervisor doesn't like to
/sys/devices/system/memory/probe we oops the box:

# echo 0x10000000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe

kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c:541!

The backtrace is:

create_section_mapping
arch_add_memory
add_memory
memory_probe_store
sysdev_class_store
sysfs_write_file
vfs_write
SyS_write

In create_section_mapping we BUG if htab_bolt_mapping returned
an error. A better approach is to return an error which will
propagate back to userspace.

Rerunning the test with this patch applied:

# echo 0x10000000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
