[PATCH] eventloop: clarify post_dispatch_check()

From: Christopher James Halse Rogers <christopher.halse.rogers at canonical.com>

This *technically* changes the semantics of the return value of the source callbacks.
Previously you could return a negative number from a source callback and it would prevent
*other* source callbacks from triggering a subsequent recheck.

Doing that seems like such a bad idea it's not worth supporting.
