Subject: [PATCH] pid: Fix error return value in some cases
Git-commit: b26ebfe12f34f372cf041c6f801fa49c3fb382c5
Patch-mainline: v5.6-rc6
References: bsc#1164648,jsc#SLE-11493
Recent changes to alloc_pid() allow the pid number to be specified on
the command line. If set_tid_size is set, then the code scanning the
levels will hard-set retval to -EPERM, overriding it's previous -ENOMEM
value.
After the code scanning the levels, there are error returns that do not
set retval, assuming it is still set to -ENOMEM.
So set retval back to -ENOMEM after scanning the levels.
Fixes: 49cb2fc42ce4 ("fork: extend clone3() to support setting a PID")
