The old_memmap flow in efi_call_phys_prolog() performs numerous memory allocations, and either does not check for failure at all, or it does but fails to propagate it back to the caller, which may end up calling into the firmware with an incomplete 1:1 mapping. So let's fix this by returning NULL from efi_call_phys_prolog() on memory allocation failures only, and by handling this condition in the caller. Also, clean up any half baked sets of page tables that we may have created before returning with a NULL return value. Note that any failure at this level will trigger a panic() two levels up, so none of this makes a huge difference, but it is a nice cleanup nonetheless.

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.
