[PATCH 5/5] perf tools: Bool functions shouldn't return -1

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx>

Returning a negative value for a boolean function seem to have the
undesired effect of returning true. Replace -1 by false in a
bool-returning function.

The diff of the .s file before and after the change (for x86_64):

  3907c3907
  < 	movl	$1, %ebx
  ---
  > 	xorl	%ebx, %ebx

while if -1 is replaced by true, the diff is empty.

This issue was found by the following Coccinelle semantic patch:

  <smpl>
  @@
  identifier f;
  constant C;
  typedef bool;
  @@
  bool f (...){
  <+...
  * return -C;
  ...+>
  }
  </smpl>
