Wei Yang 7d41c03e2d mm/memblock.c: check return value of memblock_reserve() in memblock_virt_alloc_internal()
memblock_reserve() would add a new range to memblock.reserved in case
the new range is not totally covered by any of the current
memblock.reserved range.  If the memblock.reserved is full and can't
resize, memblock_reserve() would fail.

This doesn't happen in real world now, I observed this during code
review.  While theoretically, it has the chance to happen.  And if it
happens, others would think this range of memory is still available and
may corrupt the memory.

This patch checks the return value and goto "done" after it succeeds.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
