Subject: [PATCH] Coccinelle: Script to drop parenthesis in the return
 statements

This script detects the use of a parenthesis around return value ot the
return statements and removes them as they are unnecessary and against
the CodingStyle. A new directory called checkpatch is added for semantic
patches that just make patches for what checkpatch does. This will help
developers having checkpatch problems, to run the semantic patches in this
directory on their code and fix some of them automatically.
