Subject: [PATCH] userfaultfd: reset err to be 0 when move_pages_ptes succeeded

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.

Changes in v2:
- Updated on description to be easier to understood
- Reset err before retrying, instead of fixing right at the move_pages_ptes
  branch.
- Added Assisted-by, received an answer few days ago from linux-newbies IRC
  that even I just used AI/LLM as "fast path" of git bisect. I still need
  to add it following
  https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-assistants.html doc.
