lib: radix: return correct error code on insertion failure
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We would never check the return value of __radix_tree_create() on
insertion which would cause us to return -EEXIST on all cases of failure,
even when such failure would be running out of memory, for example.

This would trigger errors in various code that assumed that -EEXIST is a
critical failure, as opposed to a "regular" error.  For example, it would
trigger a VM_BUG_ON in mm's swap handling:
