From: Zhang Lei <zhang.lei@jp.fujitsu.com>

The original implementation of vq_present() relied on aggressive
inlining in order for the compiler to know that the code is
correct, due to some const-casting issues.  This was causing sparse
and clang to complain, while GCC compiled cleanly.

Commit 0c529ff789bc addressed this problem, but since vq_present()
is no longer a function, there is now no implicit casting of the
returned value to the return type (bool).

In set_sve_vls(), this uncast bit value is compared against a bool,
and so may spuriously compare as unequal when both are nonzero.  As
a result, KVM may reject valid SVE vector length configurations as
invalid, and vice versa.

Fix it by forcing the returned value to a bool.

Posting this under Zhang Lei's authorship, due to the need to turn this
fix around quickly.  The fix is as per the original suggestion [1].

Originally observed with the QEMU KVM SVE support under review:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-06/msg04945.html

Bug reproduced and fix tested on the Arm Fast Model, with
http://linux-arm.org/git?p=kvmtool-dm.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/sve/v3/head
(After rerunning util/update_headers.sh.)

(the --sve-vls command line argument was removed in v4 of the
kvmtool patches).
