Commit
1536f4900e33 ("include/linux/sched/mm.h: uninline mmdrop_async(),
etc") ignored the return value of arch_dup_mmap(). As a result, on x86,
a failure to duplicate the LDT (e.g. due to memory allocation error)
would leave the duplicated memory mapping in an inconsistent state.
Fix by using the return value, as it was before the change.
