Maybe you missed it in the context you deleted, but this is a mainline
backport to stable-rt, and hence is not the time or place to be
injecting stylistic comments. Just like gregKH's stable tree, backports
are kept as "faithful" to the original as possible unless the older
surrounding code base forces some kind of alteration out of necessity.

Paul.
