I don't think this is the right way to fix it. The return code of
do_chunk_alloc depends on the force parameter, and in case it's
CHUNK_ALLOC_NO_FORCE the caller should handle all the possibilities, ie.
negative/0/positive. Other callers do that, so I'd rather see it fixed
right after do_chunk_alloc and not forcing 0.
