Subject: [PATCH V3 linux-next] checkpatch: don't ask for asm/file.h to linux/file.h  unconditionally

Currently checkpatch warns when asm/file.h is included and linux/file.h
exists. That conversion can be made when linux/file.h includes asm/file.h
which is not always the case.(See signal.h)

Signed-off-by: Fabian Frederick <fabf@...net.be>

V3:
	Only grep when $root/$checkfile exists (suggested by Joe Perches)
V2:
	Apply suggestions by Joe Perches:
	-Remove superfluous -i in grep
	-Use $root to make checkpatch callable from anywhere
	-Process all include cases.
