The current SUSPECT_CODE_INDENT test does not recognize several
defective code style defects where code following a logical test is
inappropriately indented.
Before this patch, for code like:
if (foo)
bar();
checkpatch would not emit a warning.
Improve the test to warn when code after a logical test has the same
indentation as the logical test.
Perform the same indentation test for "else" blocks too.

The existing behavior relies on patch context to identify function
declarations. Add the ability to find function declarations when there
is an open brace in column 1.
This finds function declarations only in specific single line forms
where the function name is on a single line like:
int foo(args...)
{
and
int
foo(args...)
{
It does not recognize function declarations like:
int foo(int bar,
int baz)
{

Lines containing "} else {" should not be detected as unbalanced braces.
But the second check can be reduced to ".+else\s*{" and it therefore
never checked if the beginning of a line contains any other character
(like the relevant "}"). This check would also return true for "} else
{" and create warnings like
CHECK: Unbalanced braces around else statement
#391: FILE: ./net/batman-adv/tvlv.c:391:
+ } else {
The check can be changed to check the whole line for the missing "}" to
avoid this false positive.
Fixes: 0d1532456c26 ("checkpatch: notice unbalanced else braces in a patch")

Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet:
"These are the documentation changes for 4.10.
It's another busy cycle for the docs tree, as the sphinx conversion
continues. Highlights include:
- Further work on PDF output, which remains a bit of a pain but
should be more solid now.
- Five more DocBook template files converted to Sphinx. Only 27 to
go... Lots of plain-text files have also been converted and
integrated.
- Images in binary formats have been replaced with more
source-friendly versions.
- Various bits of organizational work, including the renaming of
various files discussed at the kernel summit.
- New documentation for the device_link mechanism.
... and, of course, lots of typo fixes and small updates"

I generated a patch with `git format-patch` which checkpatch thinks is
invalid:
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl lpc-dt/0006-mfd-dt-Move-syscon-bindings-to-syscon-subdirectory.patch
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?

ERROR: Does not appear to be a unified-diff format patch
total: 1 errors, 1 warnings, 0 lines checked
NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.
lpc-dt/0006-mfd-dt-Move-syscon-bindings-to-syscon-subdirectory.patch has style problems, please review.
NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
The patch in question was all renames with no edits, giving 100%
similarity and thus no diff markers.
Set '$is_patch = 1;' in the add/remove/rename detection to avoid
generating spurious warnings.
