As mentioned in the kernel-doc comment of scan_its_table, this latter
returns 1 if the last element is not found. Than can happen while
scanning an L2 table but shouldn't happen if we scan an L1 table.
* Return: < 0 on error, 0 if last element was identified, 1 otherwise
* (the last element may not be found on second level tables)

your modification would return -EINVAL for whatever error encountered
during the scan table or if last element is found. I don't think this is
what we want.
