Spotted via code review, we initialize offset to 0 to avoid a
compiler warning, but in the unlikely case that offset is
never set to something else, we should abort instead of return
a value that will almost certainly cause problems.

Compiler warning pointed to the problem until commit 09d7ae90 "Fix
warning about uninitialized variable" papered over it.

The loop can't yield offset RAM_ADDR_MAX, because size needs to be zero
for next - end >= size to succeed, and that's not possible.
