The spacing check is unreachable for return statements
followed by an opening parentheses.
For example:

int foo(int bar, int baz)
{
	return(bar+baz);
}

There should be an error emitted for a space between
return and the opening parentheses but checkpatch doesn't
emit one.

Fix the spacing check. Also add --fix option to
the check.
