update checkpatch.pl to version 0.10
This version brings a number of new checks, and a number of bug fixes. Of note: - better categorisation and space checks for dual use unary/binary operators - warn on deprecated use of {SPIN,RW}_LOCK_UNLOCKED - check if/for/while with trailing ';' for hanging statements - detect DOS line endings - detect redundant casts for kalloc() Andy Whitcroft (18): Version: 0.10 asmlinkage is also a storage type pull out inline specifiers allow only some operators before a unary operator parenthesised values may span line ends add additional attribute matching handle sparse annotations within pointer type space checks support alternative function definition syntax for typedefs check if/for/while with trailing ';' for hanging statements fix output format for case checks deprecate SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED and RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED allow complex macros with bracketing braces detect and report DOS line endings fastcall is a valid function attribute bracket spacing is ok for 'for' categorise operators into unary/binary/definitions add heuristic to pick up on unannotated types remove spurious warnings from cat_vet Dave Jones (1): Make checkpatch warn about pointless casting of kalloc returns.
