"Fix up ==0 and !=0" is indeed on the to-do list.

This patch converted 82 uses of FFS_SUCCESS, of which 33 had the != idiom in
use.  Meanwhile, overall there's 53 '!= 0' and 95 '== 0' uses.

In other words, even if I fixed all of those that were involved in this patch,
there would *still* be more patching to do.
