[PATCH 00/36] treewide: remove conditional returns with no effect

[Sang-Heon Jeon <ekffu200098@gmail.com>]

Hello,

While reading mm/memblock, I found a conditional return where both
branches return the same value:

	err = do_something();
	if (err)
		return err;
	return err;

Such code is usually a leftover from removing a statement between
the two returns, and the tree has about a hundred of these.

Patch 1 adds a Coccinelle script that matches the pattern, including
negation and constant-comparison variants. Where a local variable is
assigned right before the check, the assignment and the two returns
turn into a single return of the assigned expression.

Patches 2-36 are generated by the script, with hand fixes to restore
unexpectedly removed comments and to fix the formatting checkpatch.pl
complained about.

The patches are grouped by subsystem instead of split per file. If
you would rather split, merge or drop your part, just let me know
and I will address it in the next version.

All patches are independent and can be applied separately, but for
everyone's convenience, it would be nice if they were merged through
a single tree.

The series is based on next-20260721.
