Although err is already 0 at this point even before this patch,
otherwise the function would've aborted earlier, I will apply this to
net-next-mlx5, since I like the explicit return value here as it shows
the real intention of the code.
but smatch needs to be investigated.

Applied to net-next-mlx5, 
Thanks.
