lsm: Refactor return value of LSM hook vm_enough_memory
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
To be consistent with most LSM hooks, convert the return value of
hook vm_enough_memory to 0 or a negative error code.

Before:
- Hook vm_enough_memory returns 1 if permission is granted, 0 if not.
- LSM_RET_DEFAULT(vm_enough_memory_mm) is 1.

After:
- Hook vm_enough_memory reutrns 0 if permission is granted, negative
  error code if not.
- LSM_RET_DEFAULT(vm_enough_memory_mm) is 0.
