[PATCH V2] rcu: change function declaration to bool

From: Nicholas Mc Guire
Date: Mon May 11 2015 - 11:20:14 EST


rcu_cpu_has_callbacks() is declared int but is actually returning bool and
and as the function description states " * Return true if the specified
CPU has any callback....", this probably should be a bool. All (3)
call-sites currently treat it as bool so the declaration.

Type-checking coccinelle spatches are being used to locate type
mismatches between function signatures and return values.
