checkpatch: improve the octal permissions tests
...
The function calls with octal permissions commonly span multiple lines.
The current test is line oriented and fails to find some matches.
Make the test use the $stat variable instead of the $line variable to span
multiple lines.
Also add a few functions to the known functions with permissions list.
Move the SYMBOLIC_PERMS test to a separate section to find all the S_<FOO>
permissions in any form not just those that have specific function names.
This can now find and fix permissions uses like:
.mode = S_<FOO> | S_<BAR>;

checkpatch: improve MACRO_ARG_PRECEDENCE test
...
It is possible for a multiple line macro definition to have a false positive
report when an argument is used on a line after a continuation \.
This line might have a leading '+' as the initial character that could be
confused by checkpatch as an operator.
Avoid the leading character on multiple line macro definitions.

checkpatch: look for symbolic permissions and suggest octal instead
...
S_<FOO> uses should be avoided where octal is more intelligible.
Linus didst say:
: It's *much* easier to parse and understand the octal numbers, while the
: symbolic macro names are just random line noise and hard as hell to
: understand. You really have to think about it.
:
: So we should rather go the other way: convert existing bad symbolic
: permission bit macro use to just use the octal numbers.
:
: The symbolic names are good for the *other* bits (ie sticky bit, and the
: inode mode _type_ numbers etc), but for the permission bits, the symbolic
: names are just insane crap. Nobody sane should ever use them. Not in the
: kernel, not in user space.

checkpatch: check signoff when reading stdin
...
Signoff was not checked if the filename is '-', indicating reading the
patch from stdin. Commands such as the below would not warn about a
missing signoff, because the patch filename is '-'. This change allows
checkpatch to warn about a missing signoff, even if the input filename
is '-', but only if the patch has a commit message.
git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl -
A more common use of checkpatch with stdin is for piping git diff
through checkpatch. The diff output would not contain a commit message,
and therefore it would not contain a signoff line. For this common use
case, a warning should not be printed about the missing signoff. With
this change we will only warn about a missing signoff if the input
contains a commit message.
git diff | scripts/checkpatch.pl -
Before this patch, a workaround for the first command was to refer to
stdin by a name other than '-'. The workaround is not an elegant
solution, because elsewhere checkpatch uses the fact that filename
equals '-', such as in setting '$vname' to 'Your patch' for stdin. The
command below would report "/dev/stdin has style problems" instead of
"Your patch has style problems."
git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl /dev/stdin
