Subject: [PATCH 3/5] checkpatch: Improve space before tab --fix option

This test should remove all the spaces before a tab not
just one space.

Substitute a tab for each 8 space block before a tab and
remove less than 8 spaces before a tab.

This SPACE_BEFORE_TAB test is done after CODE_INDENT.

If there are spaces used at the beginning of a line that
should be converted to tabs, please make sure that the
CODE_INDENT test and conversion is done before this
SPACE_BEFORE_TAB test and conversion.
