Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Ignore #define TRACE_<foo> macros

The tracing subsystem uses slightly odd #defines
to set path/directory locations for include files.

These #defines can cause false positives for the
complex macro tests so add exclusions for these
specific #defines (TRACE_SYSTEM, TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE,
TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH).
