Commit 36a8f01cd24b ("IB/qib: Add congestion control agent implementation")
erroneously marked a couple of switch cases as /* FALLTHROUGH */, which
were later converted to fallthrough statements by commit df561f6688fe
("treewide: Use fallthrough pseudo-keyword"). This triggered a Coverity
warning about unreachable code.

Remove the fallthrough statements and replace the mass of gotos with
simple return statements to make the code terser and less bug-prone.

This should be split up into two separate patches: one to address the
fallthrough markings, and another one for the gotos.
I don't think it's necessary to break this into multiple patches.
Logical changes in a single patch are just fine, micro patches
aren't that useful.

There is a reason for this. Read the changelog text and review the patch.

Thanks

I think it probably does make sense as two patches. I'll do a resend.
