[ Upstream commit 33b8f84a4ee78491a8f4f9e4c5520c9da4a10983 ] While reviewing a bug in hugetlb_reserve_pages, it was noticed that all callers ignore the return value. Any failure is considered an ENOMEM error by the callers. Change the function to be of type bool. The function will return true if the reservation was successful, false otherwise. Callers currently assume a zero return code indicates success. Change the callers to look for true to indicate success. No functional change, only code cleanup.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
