[PATCH] SRCU: report out-of-memory errors
Currently the init_srcu_struct() routine has no way to report out-of-memory
errors. This patch (as761) makes it return -ENOMEM when the per-cpu data
allocation fails.
The patch also makes srcu_init_notifier_head() report a BUG if a notifier
head can't be initialized. Perhaps it should return -ENOMEM instead, but
in the most likely cases where this might occur I don't think any recovery
is possible. Notifier chains generally are not created dynamically.
