checkpatch: warn on unnecessary else after return or break
Using an else following a break or return can unnecessarily indent code
blocks.
ie:
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
int foo = bar();
if (foo < 1)
break;
else
usleep(1);
}
is generally better written as:
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
int foo = bar();
if (foo < 1)
break;
usleep(1);
}
Warn when a bare else statement is preceded by a break or return
indented 1 tab more than the else.
