mm: change to return bool for folio_isolate_lru()

Patch series "Change the return value for page isolation functions", v3.

Now the page isolation functions did not return a boolean to indicate
success or not, instead it will return a negative error when failed
to isolate a page. So below code used in most places seem a boolean
success/failure thing, which can confuse people whether the isolation
is successful.

if (folio_isolate_lru(folio))
        continue;

Moreover the page isolation functions only return 0 or -EBUSY, and
most users did not care about the negative error except for few users,
thus we can convert all page isolation functions to return a boolean
value, which can remove the confusion to make code more clear.

No functional changes intended in this patch series.

This patch (of 4):

Now the folio_isolate_lru() did not return a boolean value to indicate
isolation success or not, however below code checking the return value can
make people think that it was a boolean success/failure thing, which makes
people easy to make mistakes (see the fix patch[1]).

if (folio_isolate_lru(folio))
	continue;

Thus it's better to check the negative error value expilictly returned by
folio_isolate_lru(), which makes code more clear per Linus's
suggestion[2].  Moreover Matthew suggested we can convert the isolation
functions to return a boolean[3], since most users did not care about the
negative error value, and can also remove the confusing of checking return
value.

So this patch converts the folio_isolate_lru() to return a boolean value,
which means return 'true' to indicate the folio isolation is successful,
and 'false' means a failure to isolation.  Meanwhile changing all users'
logic of checking the isolation state.

No functional changes intended.
