No need.  I believe I know why.
checkpatch doesn't use "$balanced_parens" checks for return
tests.  I'm not sure it's worth fixing right now, but it
could be tested as:

	if ($^V && $^V ge 5.10.0 &&
	    $stat =~ /^.\s*return\s*$balanced_parens\s*;\s*$/)

Anything is_<foo> that returns what seems to be true/false
I think could be bool.

But, no worries, it's your code.  Do what you think best.
