Add RET_PF_CONTINUE and use it in handle_abnormal_pfn() and kvm_faultin_pfn() to signal that the page fault handler should continue doing its thing. Aside from being gross and inefficient, using a boolean return to signal continue vs. stop makes it extremely difficult to add more helpers and/or move existing code to a helper. E.g. hypothetically, if nested MMUs were to gain a separate page fault handler in the future, everything up to the "is self-modifying PTE" check can be shared by all shadow MMUs, but communicating up the stack whether to continue on or stop becomes a nightmare. More concretely, proposed support for private guest memory ran into a similar issue, where it'll be forced to forego a helper in order to yield sane code: https://lore.kernel.org/all/YkJbxiL%2FAz7olWlq@google.com. No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
