[PATCH for-next 1/2] book3s64/radix : Handle error conditions properly in radix_vmemmap_populate

Error conditions are not handled properly if altmap is not present
and PMD_SIZE vmemmap_alloc_block_buf fails.

In this patch, if vmemmap_alloc_block_buf fails in the non-altmap
case, we will fall back to the base mapping.
