nommu: fix error handling in do_mmap_pgoff()
Fix the error handling in do_mmap_pgoff(). If do_mmap_shared_file() or do_mmap_private() fail, we jump to the error_put_region label at which point we cann __put_nommu_region() on the region - but we haven't yet added the region to the tree, and so __put_nommu_region() may BUG because the region tree is empty or it may corrupt the region tree. To get around this, we can afford to add the region to the region tree before calling do_mmap_shared_file() or do_mmap_private() as we keep nommu_region_sem write-locked, so no-one can race with us by seeing a transient region.
