OK, this makes somme sense. Other hugetlb allocation function (and page
allocator in general) return struct page as well. Besides that int would
make sense if we wanted to convey an error code but 0 vs. 1 just doesn't
make any sense.
But if you are changing that then alloc_fresh_huge_page should be
changed as well.
