Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/37] mmap locking API: mmap_lock_is_contended returns a bool

Change mmap_lock_is_contended to return a bool value, rather than an
int which the callers are then supposed to interpret as a bool. This
is to ensure consistency with other mmap lock API functions (such as
the trylock functions).
