Joe Perches a5ed3cee94 err.h: use bool for IS_ERR and IS_ERR_OR_NULL
Use the more natural return of bool for these tests.

No difference observed in .o files produced by gcc for x86.

Remove the dentry description of kernel pointers left over from the 90's
and 2002's cleanup move of parts of fs.h to err.h.
