ksm: mremap use err from ksm_madvise

Browse source 
mremap move's use of ksm_madvise() was assuming -ENOMEM on failure,
because ksm_madvise used to say -EAGAIN for that; but ksm_madvise now says
-ENOMEM (letting madvise convert that to -EAGAIN), and can also say
-ERESTARTSYS when signalled: so pass the error from ksm_madvise.
