fs: make unlazy_walk() error handling consistent
[ Upstream commit e36cffed20a324e116f329a94061ae30dd26fb51 ]
Most callers check for non-zero return, and assume it's -ECHILD (which
it always will be). One caller uses the actual error return. Clean this
up and make it fully consistent, by having unlazy_walk() return a bool
instead. Rename it to try_to_unlazy() and return true on success, and
failure on error. That's easier to read.
No functional changes in this patch.
