powerpc/mm: Clean up memory hotplug failure paths
This makes a number of cleanups to handling of mapping failures during
memory hotplug on Power:
For errors creating the linear mapping for the hot-added region:
* This is now reported with EFAULT which is more appropriate than the
previous EINVAL (the failure is unlikely to be related to the
function's parameters)
* An error in this path now prints a warning message, rather than just
silently failing to add the extra memory.
* Previously a failure here could result in the region being partially
mapped. We now clean up any partial mapping before failing.
For errors creating the vmemmap for the hot-added region:
* This is now reported with EFAULT instead of causing a BUG() - this
could happen for external reason (e.g. full hash table) so it's better
to handle this non-fatally
* An error message is also printed, so the failure won't be silent
* As above a failure could cause a partially mapped region, we now
clean this up. [mpe: move htab_remove_mapping() out of #ifdef
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG to enable this]
