Coul be a little nicer to have this be:

if (knotif && knotif->state == SECCOMP_NOTIFY_SENT)
	ret = 0;
else
	ret = -ENOENT;

or, if you want to keep the assignment out of the lock:

ret = -ENOENT;
ret = mutex_lock_interruptible(&filter->notify_lock);
if (ret < 0)
	return ret;

knotif = find_notification(filter, id);
if (knotif && knotif->state == SECCOMP_NOTIFY_SENT)
	ret = 0;

otherwise looks like a good cleanup to me.
