It tries to check against all zeros and looped for quite a few times. However after that we'll verify the same page with count_verify, while count_verify can never be zero. So it means if it's a zero page we'll detect it anyways with below code.
There's yet another place we conditionally check the fault flag - just do it unconditionally.
