Currently, refresh_cpu_vm_stats returns an int, indicating how many
changes were made during its updates. Using this information, callers
like vmstat_update can heuristically determine if more work will be done
in the future.

However, all of refresh_cpu_vm_stats's callers either (a) ignore the
result, only caring about performing the updates, or (b) only care about
whether changes were made, but not *how many* changes were made.

Simplify the code by returning a bool instead to indicate if updates
were made.

In addition, simplify fold_diff and decay_pcp_high to return a bool
for the same reason.
