Please don't make this sort of change.  Spaces were used deliberately,
because it's alignment rather than indentation, and using tabs would make
things be unaligned with tab sizes other than 8, and (as can be seen above)
in patches.

Unfortunately, it's non-trivial to make checkpatch tell the difference
between the two (it would need to parse the language rather than do a simple
regex).
