This fixes the sanitation process in checkpatch.pl so that it blocks out
the text after a C99 style comment the same way it does with block style
comments. This prevents the text from getting processed as regular code.

An else cannot start a type, it would have to be within a block after the
else. This can trigger false modifier matching.

We must make sure we do not misrecognise a modifier as an Identifier
when trying to match types. Prevent us matching this:
void * __ref

We say that in_atomic() is ok in the core kernel, but then always report
it regardless of where in the kernel it is. Keep quiet if it is used in
kernel/*.

We should not be continuing a braced section with an if, for example:
if (...) {
} if (...) {
}
Detect this and suggest adding a newline.

When we allow return to have surrounding parentheses when containing
comparison operators we are not correctly handling the case where the
values contain array sufffixes. Squash them.

We should not be complaining about the prefix spacing for types and casts.
We are triggering here because the check for spacing between '*'s is
overly loose. Tighten this up.

When checking for assignments within if conditionals we check the whole of
the condition, but the match is performed using a line constrained regular
expression. This means we can miss split conditionals or those on the
second line. Allow the check to span lines.

Ensure we do not report identifiers containing the word static as static

assignement of 0:
