[MLIR] Improving the Comment

[kamleshbhalui]

Summary

Fixed the misleading comment.
i.e.
Returns if ...
to
Returns true if ...

[bondhugula]

Please fix the 80 column spillovers. Although this "Returns if ..." construction is used pervasively and isn't actually incorrect, it can be a bit confusing. "if this ..." was being used as a noun for the bool value.

Please fix the commit title - it's itself broken.
