Add __must_check to error pointer handlers to have the compiler warn about
mistakes like:
if (err)
ERR_PTR(err);
It found two bugs:

There are quite a few instances in the kernel of checks of pointers both
against NULL and against the errno range, handling both cases identically.
This additional helper function would simplify such code.

Add an ERR_CAST() function to complement ERR_PTR and co. for the purposes
of casting an error entyped as one pointer type to an error of another
pointer type whilst making it explicit as to what is going on.
This provides a replacement for the ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) construct.

o Raise the maximum error number in IS_ERR_VALUE to 4095.
o Make that number available as a new constant MAX_ERRNO.

As noted by Chris Wright, we need to do the full range of tests regardless
of whether MAP_FIXED is set or not, so re-organize get_unmapped_area()
slightly to do the sanity checks unconditionally.
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
