[PATCH v2] coccinelle: if (ret) return ret; return ret; semantic patch

[Greg Dietsche <Gregory.Dietsche@cuw.edu>]

Semantic patch to find code that matches this pattern:
	if (...) return ret;
	return ret;

Version 2:
	Incorporate review comments from Julia Lawall
	Add matches for a number of other similar patterns.
