Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Use $String consistently

String detection where a source line with a string constant
is converted can either have an X or a space.

Some of the string detection regexes do not allow the space
character, but there is a handy $String variable that does.

Convert the remaining uses of string detection regexes to
use the $String variable to reduce possible false negatives.
