Actually, yes. But it does imporve nothing but coding style.
I think Alexander's code style make function more compact is also a
good code style. So, just keep it original.

Still it makes noise when other people look at the code and find that it
looks odd.  Removing the false positive in smatch won't completely help,
because people could look at the code for other reasons.

I agree. The patch is good. My only comment was about the patch description. You are fixing a coding style issue reported by smatch, not a NULL pointer dereference. This is a code clean-up rather than a fix, but still the patch is just as useful.

While you are at it you could probably also incorporate the suggestion from Walter as that helps to improve the readability further.
