Yafang Shao 11d6761218 mm, memcg: fix error return value of mem_cgroup_css_alloc()
When I run my memcg testcase which creates lots of memcgs, I found
there're unexpected out of memory logs while there're still enough
available free memory.  The error log is

  mkdir: cannot create directory 'foo.65533': Cannot allocate memory

The reason is when we try to create more than MEM_CGROUP_ID_MAX memcgs,
an -ENOMEM errno will be set by mem_cgroup_css_alloc(), but the right
errno should be -ENOSPC "No space left on device", which is an
appropriate errno for userspace's failed mkdir.

As the errno really misled me, we should make it right.  After this
patch, the error log will be

  mkdir: cannot create directory 'foo.65533': No space left on device

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
