Btw, I wasn't going to complain about this but since Greg is being extra
critical about commit messages that don't explain *why* it just creates
an environment why I also feel free to complain...  I couldn't
understand what this commit does without looking at the code in context.

A possible commit message here is:

[PATCH 12/32] staging: gasket: small cleanup in gasket_wait_with_reschedule()

gasket_wait_with_reschedule() is a little more clear if we just return
directly.
