[1/3] insert_resource can succeed and return an error

[Matthew Wilcox]

If we start again, we can return an error even if we were successful.
Reset the result to 0 before beginning again.  Why don't we use a
tailcall here?

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon 
the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
