"err" needs to be left set to -EFAULT if split_huge_page succeeds.
Otherwise if "err" gets clobbered with zero and write_protect_page
fails, try_to_merge_one_page() will succeed instead of returning -EFAULT
and then try_to_merge_with_ksm_page() will continue thinking kpage is a
PageKsm when in fact it's still an anonymous page.  Eventually it'll
crash in page_add_anon_rmap.

This has been reproduced on Fedora25 kernel but I can reproduce with
upstream too.

The bug was introduced in commit f765f540598a ("ksm: prepare to new THP
semantics") introduced in v4.5.
