I don't think your patch is in any way wrong, but I just checked, and
it makes absolutely zero difference to the code generation at least
for my version of gcc. The resulting assembly is identical except for
the line numbers that changed (BUG_ON() line/file information and
debug information).

So I think I prefer the shallower indentation.
