It's the prepartion for making try_to_unmap return bool type but strictly
speaking, it's not necessary but I wanted to replace it with SWAP_SUCCESS
in this chance because it has several *defined* return type so it would
make it clear if we use one of those defiend type, IMO.
However, my thumb rule is to keep author/maintainer's credit for trivial
case and it seems you don't like so I will drop in next spin.

Thanks.
