I think we do have a `XXStructorList` here which is the initializer of 
`llvm.gloal_ctors`or `llvm.gloal_dtors` array? The usage of this term is  
consistent with other spots.

Yeah, we could do that. But it looks a boolean return value makes the code flow 
natural. And if any target does want to control the early return in the future, 
it's flexbile for them to do that. I am wondering is there any big difference 
between bool and void return value for this function?
