That's because the comment belongs to the v2 part of the check.

Yes, and separate are easier to read if you read them like this:
+ if (rc == -ENOENT)
+ return rc;

And this becomes a lot more natural when you're staring at a big function
which does a lot of things and you concentrate only on the main path.
Oh, and this is how those checks get translated to asm as there you
don't really have compound if-statements. So if you switch your mind to
reading such checks separately, you're practically ready to read their
asm translation too...
Anyway, this is how I see it.
