The function colo_init_ram_cache() currently returns -errno if qemu_anon_ram_alloc() fails. However, the subsequent cleanup loop that calls qemu_anon_ram_free() could potentially alter the value of errno. This would cause the function to return a value that does not accurately represent the original allocation failure.
This commit changes the return value to -1 on memory allocation failure. This ensures that the return value is consistent and is not affected by any errno changes that may occur during the free process.
