[arch-dev-public] [PATCH] [devtools] make 'mkarchroot -u' return 0 on success

Version 0.9.16 of devtools made "mkarchroot -u" able to handle pacman
upgrades using:

	pacman -Syu --noconfirm; pacman -Qqu >/dev/null && pacman -Su --noconfirm

This implies the return code of "mkarchroot -u" is always 1 in the most
typical case where there is no package left to upgrade after the first
round.

To fix this, I suggest to simply remove the check for packages left:
pacman -Su will do it just as well. Or we could add a "|| return 0" at
the end.
