Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: fix erroneous indentation errors

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

In a few cases, checkpatch gives false indentation CHECKs:

@@ ... @@
-	foo(1, 2, 3,
+	foo(1, 2, 3, 4,
 	    5, 6, 7, 8);

will warn.

@@ ... @@
	foo(1, 2, 3, 4,
-	    5, 6, 7, 8);
+		5, 6, 7, 8);

will not warn.

Change this. The only disadvantage of the new code is
that it will warn about context-only indentation problems,
e.g.

@@ ... @@
	foo(1, 2, 3, 4,
		5, 6, 7, 8);
-	unrelated();

will cause a warning now. It could probably be prevented
by a match on $rawline, but I wasn't sure how to do that.
