kernel-doc -Wall warns about missing Return: statement for non-void

the colon, IOW they use

Having the colon makes some sense, it should help kdoc parser avoid
false positives. So add them. This is mostly done with a sed script,
and removing the unnecessary cases (mostly the comments which aren't
kdoc).
I wonder about this... I suspect it's going to be a constant battle to
ensure that docs use Return: or Returns: because it's not "natural"
when writing documentation.
Maybe the tooling should accept a sentence starting "Return(s?)" and
convert it to "Return(s):" in generated documentation?
