Did you forget to add a subject line. The above looks to be the beginning
of the paragraph below.

And even combined, the above makes no sense.

This patch is not an optimization patch. If it were, the optimization
provided is so small, it's not worth adding it.

Just state that it's a clean up (I already told you this). Here, I'll do
the work for you (but I expect a proper patch):

  Subject: [PATCH v2] ftrace: Remove return value of ftrace_arch_modify_*()

  All instances of the function ftrace_arch_modify_prepare() and
  ftrace_arch_modify_post_process() return zero. There's no point in
  checking their return value. Just have them be void functions.

There, that's what I would like to see.
