curr->func() returns type 'bool', whats wrong with comparing against the
same type?

I'm not applying stuff like this, sorry.

Looking at the function, it seems odd to have
some direct uses of "return false" and others
of "goto bad" where bad: does kfree_skb.

If all of the direct uses of return false are
correct, it could be useful to document why.
