Subject: [RESEND(2) PATCH] staging: rtl8188eu: Fix else after return WARNING (checkpatch)

Fixed:
WARNING: else is not generally useful after a break or return
1636: FILE: ./rtw_recv.c:1636:
+           return false;
+       else

Separated the return statement into a separate block since
it doesn't seem to depend on the SN_LESS explicity being false.
