[PATCH v3 -next] mm: memcg: make alloc_mem_cgroup_per_node_info() return bool

[Xiu Jianfeng]

alloc_mem_cgroup_per_node_info() returns int that doesn't map to any
errno error code. The only existing caller doesn't really need an error
code so change the the function to return bool (true on success) because
this is slightly less confusing and more consistent with the other code.
