I tried to touch as little as possible, and while I wouldn't use that
style myself, it is applied consistently in this driver, including the
wait_event line I'm adding, where I feel it actually makes sense.

We get a gcc warning without them:

drivers/isdn/divert/divert_procfs.c:95:14: warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value [-Wparentheses]
    *((struct divert_info **) file->private_data));


I can still change the first one (in both files) if you think it's important,
but I'd rather not spend too much energy at coding style changes.

Thanks for taking a look.
