Subject: [PATCH v4] coccinelle: if (ret) return ret; return ret; semantic patch

Semantic patch to find code that matches this pattern:
	if (...) return ret;
	return ret;

Version 2:
	Incorporate review comments from Julia Lawall
	Add matches for a number of other similar patterns.

Version 3:
	Incorporate more review comments from Julia.

Version 4:
	Add -return ret; +return ret; back to the script
	as this improves Coccinelle's handling of white
	space for this patch.
