[PATCH 1/3] um: separate child and parent errors in clone stub

Johannes Berg johannes at sipsolutions.net

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg at intel.com>

If the two are mixed up, then it looks as though the parent
returned an error if the child failed (before) the mmap(),
and then the resulting process never gets killed. Fix this
by splitting the child and parent errors, reporting and
using them appropriately.
