This is a smatch error but it can't actually happen because:

  	if (!length)
  		return -EINVAL;

And:

	if (!iopt_area_contig_done(&iter))
		rc = -ENOENT;

Prevents an empty loop for iopt_for_each_contig_area()

And each loop does:

		rc = iopt_pages_rw_access(

Which will zero rc.

If for some reason rc was used uninitialized then it would be an error
so it should be rc = -EINVAL. I fixed it up.
