checkpatch: improve "return is not a function" test

Find a few more cases where parentheses are used around the value of a
return statement.

This now uses the "$balanced_parens" test and also makes the test depend
on perl v5.10 and higher.

This now finds return with parenthesis uses the old code did not find
like:

ERROR: return is not a function, parentheses are not required
#211: FILE: arch/m68k/include/asm/sun3xflop.h:211:
+		return ((error == 0) ? 0 : -1);
