mm/huge_memory.c: make get_huge_zero_page() return bool

It's guaranteed that huge_zero_page will not be NULL if
huge_zero_refcount is increased successfully.

When READ_ONCE(huge_zero_page) is returned, there must be a
huge_zero_page and it can be replaced with returning
'true' when we do not care about the value of huge_zero_page.

We can thus make it return bool to save READ_ONCE cpu cycles as the
return value is just used to check if huge_zero_page exists.
