selftests: net: Fix minor issues in cork_fragsize.py

return None is unreachable in check_kernel_config, because the try block
always returns a True or False value, and the except block continues the
loop. The return None was supposed to be outside the for loop, to make
pylint happy by making all the flows of the function return a value
explicitly.

While at it, make the docstring of check_dmesg_clean clearer by
explaining the return values.
