Stefan Hajnoczi ddd3d4081f vhost: return bool from *_access_ok() functions
Currently vhost *_access_ok() functions return int.  This is error-prone
because there are two popular conventions:

1. 0 means failure, 1 means success
2. -errno means failure, 0 means success

Although vhost mostly uses #1, it does not do so consistently.
umem_access_ok() uses #2.

This patch changes the return type from int to bool so that false means
failure and true means success.  This eliminates a potential source of
errors.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
