This patch removes unnecessary parentheses around return values and curly braces from single-statement conditionals.
Curly braces are removed only from conditionals that are directly related to the return statements being cleaned up.
Other instances of one-line conditionals remain unchanged to limit the scope of this patch.

These changes address checkpatch.pl warnings and improve code readability.

v3:
