The return value of vmalloc on failure of allocation of memory should
be -ENOMEM and not -1.

Found using Coccinelle. A simplified version of the semantic patch
used is:
 ...
The single call site of the containing function checks whether the
returned value is -1, so this check is changed as well. The single call 
site of this call site, however, only checks whether the value is not 0,
so no further change was required.
