I actually find this change to make the code less readable.  Yes, the
braces aren't technically necessary, but the else requires them, and the
comment block before the memset makes this multi-line.

This whole patch is highly user preference, but I'd rather these braces
stay.

1) If you're going for coding style, the assignment within the if
condition needs to be moved outside of it.

2) If you're not going to fix 1, then leave the braces.
