Subject: [PATCH] mm: remove return value from init_currently_empty_zone

init_currently_empty_zone doesn't have any error to return yet it is
still an int and callers try to be defensive and try to handle potential
error. Remove this nonsense and simplify all callers.

This patch shouldn't have any visible effect
