Thanks for reporting this!  It looks like we didn't realise we dropped
the implicit cast to bool when the result was returned from the original
version of vq_present().

Your fix looks sensible to me.

For the future, see Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for
guidance on how to prepare a patch for submission.

However, due to the fact that we're already at -rc7 I've written a
commit message for the patch and reposted [1].  Since the fix is yours,
I'll keep your authorship and S-o-B.

Please retest when you can (though the diff should be the same).

Note, your mail seems to be corrupted, but since the diff is a one-line
fix, I'm pretty confident I decoded it correctly.  If anything looks
wrong, please let me know.

[...]

Cheers
---Dave
