Fine for this patch, but if you are finding more of these, I don't think
you need to quote the removed text in the commit log.  One can see it just
below in the patch.  Actually,

"Remove the description for the non-existent parameter ret.  Problem
detected using the kerneldoc build."

seems like it would be sufficient.
