Subject: [PATCH 1/1] pseries/hotplug-memory.c: Change rc variable to bool

Changes the return variable to bool (as the return value) and
avoids doing a ternary operation before returning.

Also, since rc will always be true, there is no need to do
rc &= bool, as (true && X) will result in X.

BTW, including such subtle changes in a "Change rc variable to bool"
patch should be avoided.

No, that's wrong.

If is_mem_section_removable() is false in the first iteration but true
in the last iteration, you would return true instead of false, which
introduced a bug. We have to AND all sub-results, not simply use the
last one.

You are right.
If it was a valid change, I should give it a patch for itself.
I will keep that in mind next time.

Thanks for helping!
