The change is fine. However, the function doc references to return 1/0
needs updates as well.

* 1. grab a valid sigcontext into td->live_uc for result analysis: in
* such case it returns 1.
*
* 2. detect if, somehow, a previously grabbed live_uc context has been
* used actively with a sigreturn: in such a case the execution would have
* magically resumed in the middle of this function itself (seen_already==1):
* in such a case return 0, since in fact we have not just simply grabbed
* the context.
