That, or shift two lines one indent level out ;-)  I mean,
	if (!foo)
		foo = bar();
	if (!foo)
		baz();
is provably equivalent to
	if (!foo) {
		foo = bar();
		if (!foo)
			baz();
	}

I agree that the current form shouldn't be left as-is - the kernel isn't
IOCCC and all such.  The only question is which variant would read better...
