[PATCH 2/2] mm, THP: Clean up return value of madvise_free_huge_pmd

["Huang, Ying" <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>

The definition of return value of madvise_free_huge_pmd is not clear
before.  According to the suggestion of Minchan Kim, change the type of
return value to bool and return true if we do MADV_FREE successfully on
entire pmd page, otherwise, return false.  Comments are added too.
