I've confirmed that this introduces no performance improvement. I have a 2MB
shader_test file with a 3-line [require] section at the top. With and without
this patch, shader_runner execution time was approx 1.03 sec. The cost of
scanning the shader_test is negligible compared to the cost of compilation.

However, I do think that this patch makes the function easier to understand. It
makes it clear that, after we have completed scanning the [require] section, the
task is complete and no further action takes place. I would be in favor
of this patch if the commit message conveyed that as the patch's purpose,
and if the -Wparentheses warning were fixed.
