Subject: mm: do not use double negation for testing page flags

With the discussion[1], I found it seems there are every PageFlags
functions return bool at this moment so we don't need double
negation any more.
Although it's not a problem to keep it, it makes future users
confused to use dobule negation for them, too.

Remove such possibility.

Frankly sepaking, I like every PageFlags return bool instead of int.
It will make it clear. AFAIR, Chen Gang had tried it but don't know
why it was not merged at that time.
