I hope I haven't missed anything but the patch should be the following.

Subject: [PATCH] mm: do_swap_page fix up the error code

do_swap_page returns error codes from the VM_FAULT* space. try_charge
might return -ENOMEM, though, and then do_swap_page simply returns 0
which means a success.

We almost never return ENOMEM for GFP_KERNEL single page charge. Except
for async OOM handling (oom_disabled v1). So this needs translation to
VM_FAULT_OOM otherwise the the page fault path will not notify the
userspace and wait for an action.

Fixes: 4c6355b25e8b ("mm: memcontrol: charge swapin pages on instantiation")
