handling case instead of 0, as done elsewhere in this function.

I guess you've used a static analysis code to detect this problem, can
you name it in the commit message, and paste the error/warning message
it reported next time you submit this kind of patch.

NAck. I you read the code you'll see that err is initialized to -ENOMEM
here [1], so these changes are actually not needed.

Sorry, just realized I was wrong. It seems that err can be overridden by
[2]. So this patch is indeed fixing a real problem.
