I don't think you need braces. The compiler certainly doesn't.
An alternative is to have the comment where you put it, but rephrase
it so that it references both the if-clause and the action. For
example:
/* Nothing else to do if this is the main thread, or if no
watchpoints have been set yet. */
if (lwp->arch_private == NULL)
return;
