Subject: [PATCH 1/1] checkpatch: fix perl v5.20 warning: useless use of greediness modifier

on my perl v5.20 I got:
  Useless use of greediness modifier '+' in regex; marked by
  <-- HERE in m/(^\+.*) {8,8}+ <-- HERE \t/ at ./scripts/checkpatch.pl line 2427.

greediness modifier '+' in construction '\s{8,8}+' does not make
any sense, because we already specify how many chars do we expect.

Also we can avoid second ',8' and use simple '\s{8}'.
