Subject: userfaultfd: reset err to be 0 when move_pages_ptes succeeded
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 10:08:24 +0700 (WIB)

During move_pages() operation, when move_pages_ptes() returns EAGAIN, the
error code is not cleared even after we processed it.  This leads to a
successful retry but then the same pages are retried again due to the
stale error code.  This time move fails because pages are already moved,
loop is terminated and move_pages() reports a failure.  Clear the error
code once we processes EAGAIN.
