Well, after I dug into this part, I found something as below.
If we enter into the 'if (osk) {', we should always skip the next
if-statement which is 'if (found_dup_sk) {' and return a proper value
depending on if the osk is hashed.
However, the code as above would leave variable @ret to be true if the
sk_hashed(osk) returned false, then It would not go to unlock and then
add the node to the list and at last return true which is unexpected.

I think this modification is fine and makes the code clearer.
