Currently alloc_mem_cgroup_per_node_info() returns 1 if failed,
make it return bool, false for failure and true for success.

This describes what the patch does rather than why it is doing that.
The former is clear from the diff while the motivation for this change
is unclear. I would propose something like:

alloc_mem_cgroup_per_node_info() returns int that doesn't map to any
errno error code. The only existing caller doesn't really need an error
code so change the the function to return bool (true on success) because
this is slightly less confusing and more consistent with the other code.

Thanks, it looks much better now.

I actually liked the previous (ENOMEM) version slightly more,
but this one works too.

I also slightly preferred the -ENOMEM version. But this is better than
the status quo.
