coccinelle: misc: semantic patch to delete overly complex return code processing
This semantic patch simplifies cases where the effect of the processing of a function call's return code is just to return the result of the function directly. It may also delete a local return flag variable, if this is no longer used. This was proposed by Uwe Kleine-König.
