Property fetching functions which return number of successfully fetched
properties should not state that out-values are only modified if 0 is
returned. Fix this.

Thanks for catching each of these cases of incorrect documentation.

Instead of correcting each of the descriptions, please just remove the incorrect
portion.  So for each case, remove ", modified only if return value is 0."

The reference to return value of 0 is a left over from another set of functions
which were modified to call the set of functions that you fix above.

Thanks,

Frank
