[PATCH] Use bool for boolean flag in printk_once()

[Roland Dreier]

Using the type bool (instead of int) for the __print_once flag in the
printk_once() macro matches the intent of the code better, and allows
the compiler to generate smaller code; eg a typical callsite with gcc
4.3.3 on i386:

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-6 (-6)
function                                     old     new   delta
static.__print_once                            4       1      -3
get_cpu_vendor                               146     143      -3

Saving 6 bytes of object size per callsite by slightly improving the
readability of the source seems like a win to me.
