Return a 'bool' instead of an 'int' for various PTE accessors that are boolean in nature, e.g. is_shadow_present_pte(). Returning an int is goofy and potentially dangerous, e.g. if a flag being checked is moved into the upper 32 bits of a SPTE, then the compiler may silently squash the entire check since casting to an int is guaranteed to yield a return value of '0'. Opportunistically refactor is_last_spte() so that it naturally returns a bool value instead of letting it implicitly cast 0/1 to false/true. No functional change intended.

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.
