commit 8c42dd78df upstream.
Commit f05f62d042 ("s390/vmem: get rid of memory segment list")
reshuffled the call to vmem_add_mapping() in __segment_load(), which now
overwrites rc after it was set to contain the segment type code.
As result, __segment_load() will now always return 0 on success, which
corresponds to the segment type code SEG_TYPE_SW, i.e. a writeable
segment. This results in a kernel crash when loading a read-only segment
as dcssblk block device, and trying to write to it.
Instead of reshuffling code again, make sure to return the segment type
on success, and also describe this rather delicate and unexpected logic
in the function comment. Also initialize new segtype variable with
invalid value, to prevent possible future confusion.
