These edits are all positive ones.

I'll leave it to more experienced contributors to comment on how a
comment-only patch fits with this section Documentation/CodingGuidelines:

 - Fixing style violations while working on a real change as a
   preparatory clean-up step is good, but otherwise avoid useless code
   churn for the sake of conforming to the style.

In my opinion, this change is not harmful, but also isn't super
necessary. I could go either way.

Thanks,
