clang static analysis reports a garbage return
In file included from mm/memory.c:84:
mm/memory.c:1612:2: warning: Undefined or garbage value returned to caller [core.uninitialized.UndefReturn]
return err;
^~~~~~~~~~
The setting of err depends on a loop executing.
So initialize err.

I'd argue that returning zero is wrong. If someone's asked to insert
zero pages, that's a nonsense thing to do so it should return -EINVAL..
