[v15,2/3] mm: memory-failure: move return value documentation to function declaration

Commit Message

Shuai Xue Oct. 28, 2024, 8:11 a.m. UTC

Part of return value comments for memory_failure() were originally
documented at the call site. Move those comments to the function
declaration to improve code readability and to provide developers with
immediate access to function usage and return information.
