Subject: [PATCH 3/3] checkpatch: Fix jiffies comparison and others

checkpatch could not distinguish between a variable in a struct
named jiffies and the normal jiffies.

	foo->jiffies

would emit a "Comparing jiffies" arning.

Update the $Compare variable to do a negative look-behind for "-"
when finding a ">" so that a pointer dereference like -> isn't
a comparison.
