This patch removes the use of a variable used only for
returning a value. The following coccinelle script was
used to discover it:

@@
expression ret;
identifier f;
@@

-ret =
+return
     f(...);
     -return ret;

It also fixes the checkpatch.pl warning about line being over
80 characters, in the lines where changes were made.

This patch uses kasprintf as it combines kmalloc and
sprintf, and takes care of the size calculation itself.

I find the Kconfig dependencies of the various Unisys drivers rather
confusing. Due to the dependencies, you must select the drivers one by
one to see the following ones. So if you are looking for a specific
driver, it is not visible by default. And if you don't know exactly
what you need, it's even worse as you don't know what is available.

In a case like this with several helper drivers and many dependencies,
I think it makes more sense to list all the drivers at first, and use
select statements to fulfill the dependencies for the user.

As a nice side effect, it avoids the weird indentation, which was
technically correct but still somewhat confusing.

I also dropped the dependencies on HAS_IOMEM, as the whole driver set
is for X86_64 only anyway which always has HAS_IOMEM set. And I
dropped the redundant dependencies on UNISYSSPAR as all drivers are
already inside an "if UNISYSSPAR" block.

The code does the checks on should_stop variable in the kernel
threads. The uisthread_stop function sets the should_stop and calls
KILL (eventually kill_pid) to stop the thread.

The checking of should_stop variable can be replaced to a call to
kthread_should_stop function and the setting of the should_stop and
a call to KILL can be replaced with kthread_stop function.

kthread_run calls kthread_create and if the thread is created
it then calls wake_up_process on the corresponding returned
task struct. So the code can be simplified by calling just
kthread_run.

For dynamic debugging netdev_dbg(), dev_dbg() or  pr_debug() macro is
preferred over printk(), which is the raw way to print something.
Network system has it's own printk format, netdev_dbg, but in this case
function's argument list has no  pointer to a struct netdevice so
pr_debug is used instead.
