I personally would have used some crafty goto statements to jump to
'err' label which would have
	up_read(&current->mm->mmap_sem);
	return -EFAULT;

which would be after
 154         return (ret != orig_pte);                                               

But that is bike-shedding so feel free to ignore it.

Either way:
