[Nouveau] [PATCH 1/6] mm: always return EBUSY for invalid ranges in hmm_range_{fault, snapshot}

We should not have two different error codes for the same condition.  In
addition this really complicates the code due to the special handling of
EAGAIN that drops the mmap_sem due to the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY logic
in the core vm.
