Linus Torvalds 4fb23e439c Fix up mm/mincore.c error value cases 
Hugh Dickins correctly points out that mincore() is actually _supposed_
to fail on an unmapped hole in the user address space, rather than
return valid ("empty") information about the hole.  This just simplifies
the problem further (I had been misled by our previous confusing and
complicated way of doing mincore()).

Also, in the unlikely situation that we can't allocate a temporary
kernel buffer, we should actually return EAGAIN, not ENOMEM, to keep the
"unmapped hole" and "allocation failure" error cases separate.

Finally, add a comment about our stupid historical lack of support for
anonymous mappings.  I'll fix that if somebody reminds me after 2.6.20
is out.
