Hmm IMHO the kernel's idiomatic way is to return 0 on "success" and I'd
assume the more intuitive expectation of success here if the entry is
assigned? The various callers seem to differ though so I guess it depends on
context. Some however don't distinguish their "failure" from an ERR and
maybe they should, at least for the purposes of the various printks?
