checkpatch: add exception to return then else test
Add an exception to the return before else warning when the line
following it is also a return like:
if (foo)
return bar;
else
return baz;
This form of a test then return is at least as readable as
if (foo)
return bar;
return baz;
so don't emit a warning on the first form.
