Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Improve EMBEDDED_FUNCTION_NAME test

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)
{
