Nouveau - May 2021 - [PATCH][next] nouveau/svm: Fix missing failure check on call to make_device_exclusive_range

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

The call to make_device_exclusive_range can potentially fail leaving
pointer page not initialized that leads to an uninitialized pointer
read issue. Fix this by adding a check to see if the call failed and
returning the error code.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized pointer read")
Fixes: c620bba9828c ("nouveau/svm: implement atomic SVM access")

Thanks for spotting, this is fixing get_user_pages() inside 
make_device_exclusive_range() returning an error. However the check needs to 
happen after dropping mmap_lock below:
