I have no objection to the changes, but I think you should
describe the motivation for them beyond them being 'weird'.

Do these 'return' statements get in the way of some other
work you are doing? Is there a compiler warning you want
to enable to ensure they don't come back? Is this all of
the instances in the kernel or just the ones you found by
inspection?
