I think you sent the wrong version of this one ...

The commit message should mention that we're fixing a minor bug, that
the error from vm_insert_pfn() was being ignored and the effect of this
is likely to be only felt in OOM situations.

I thought I said not to introduce vmf_handle_error(), because it's too
trivial and obfuscates what's actually going on.

Re-reading spufs_ps_fault(), I wouldn't change anything inside it.  Just
change its return type to vm_fault_t and call it done.
