[PATCH 1/8] mm: page_counter: let page_counter_try_charge() return bool

[Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>]

page_counter_try_charge() currently returns 0 on success and -ENOMEM
on failure, which is surprising behavior given the function name.

Make it follow the expected pattern of try_stuff() functions that
return a boolean true to indicate success, or false for failure.
