alloc_pages() returns the page on success or NULL if allocation fails,
while set_page_private() will dereference `newpage`. So it is better to
catch the memory error in case other errors happen.

It's really a nofail allocation, am I missing something?

Sorry, I did not carefully notice the flag `__GFP_NOFAIL`.
Please ignore this patch if this does not need to deal with failure.
