[PATCH 1/3] fs/proc/task_mmu.c: check the return value of mpol_to_str()

From: Chen Gang
Date: Tue Aug 20 2013 - 22:31:11 EST


mpol_to_str() may fail, and not fill the buffer (e.g. -EINVAL), so need
check about it, or buffer may not be zero based, and next seq_printf()
will cause issue.

The failure return need after mpol_cond_put() to match get_vma_policy().
