Michael Ellerman edb4a8bffd powerpc/vdso: refactor error handling
Linus noticed that the error handling in __arch_setup_additional_pages()
fails to clear the mm VDSO pointer if _install_special_mapping() fails. 
In practice there should be no actual bug, because if there's an error the
VDSO pointer is cleared later in arch_setup_additional_pages().

However it's no longer necessary to set the pointer before installing the
mapping.  Commit c1bab64360 ("powerpc/vdso: Move to
_install_special_mapping() and remove arch_vma_name()") reworked the code
so that the VMA name comes from the vm_special_mapping.name, rather than
relying on arch_vma_name().

So rework the code to only set the VDSO pointer once the mappings have
been installed correctly, and remove the stale comment.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
