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.
