[PATCH 05/27] KVM: ARM/arm64: avoid returning negative error code as bool

From: Christoffer Dall <hidden>
Date: 2014-09-26 13:16:38
Also in: kvm
Subsystem: arm port, arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), kernel virtual machine for arm64 (kvm/arm64), the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Marc Zyngier, Oliver Upton, Linus Torvalds

From: Will Deacon <redacted>

is_valid_cache returns true if the specified cache is valid.
Unfortunately, if the parameter passed it out of range, we return
-ENOENT, which ends up as true leading to potential hilarity.

This patch returns false on the failure path instead.
