We (Thomas, myself, UMD teams) have been discussing error codes for VM
bind and exec IOCTLs but haven't considered the error codes in the
create IOCTLs. We likely need to do a complete scrub of these IOCTLs
too.

Looking at xe_vm_create_ioctl, after this change it looks correct to me.
I think if we all agree on this change (and other error codes) we should
also update the kerenl doc with all the possible returns.

It looks like:
-EINVAL: Various bad input
-EBUSY: VM in fault mode or non-fault mode present
-ENOMEM: kmalloc or device memory allocation failed

The only change I could possibly see is for extensions return
-EOPNOTSUPP.

Let's get a few others input here.
