[PATCH] mm/page_alloc.c: add additional checking and return valuefor the 'table->data'

From: Chen Gang
Date: Fri May 17 2013 - 07:01:08 EST



If 'table->data' is invalid, also need check its length to know whether
is invalid, firstly.

When __parse_numa_zonelist_order() fails, also need save the related
error code for return.

Beautify code ('char*' --> 'char *') to pass "./scripts/checkpatch.pl"
