Re: [RFC PATCH 5/6] pkeys: Up level pkey_free() checks

From: Ira Weiny <redacted>

x86 is missing a hardware check for pkey support in pkey_free().  While
the net result is the same (-EINVAL returned), pkey_free() has well
defined behavior which will be easier to maintain in one place.

For powerpc the return code is -1 rather than -EINVAL.  This changes
that behavior slightly but this is very unlikely to break any user
space.

Lift the checks for pkey_free() to the core mm code and ensure
consistency with returning -EINVAL.

Thanks to Sohil for suggesting I mention the powerpc return value in the
commit message.

Also Sohil suggested changing mm_pkey_free() from int to void.  This is
added as a separate patch with his suggested by.
