Subject: [PATCH v3 2/6] coccicheck: enable parmap support

Coccinelle has had parmap support since 1.0.2, this means
it supports --jobs, enabling built-in multithreaded functionality,
instead of needing one to script it out. Just look for --jobs
in the help output to determine if this is supported.

Also enable the load balancing to be dynamic, so that if a
thread finishes early we keep feeding it.

Note: now that we have all things handled for us, redirect stderr to
stdout as well to capture any possible errors or warnings issued by
coccinelle.

If --jobs is not supported we fallback to the old mechanism.

As a small example, prior to this change, on an 8-core system:

Before:

$ export COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/free/kfree.cocci
$ time make coccicheck MODE=report
...

real    29m14.912s
user    103m1.796s
sys     0m4.464s

After:

real    16m22.435s
user    128m30.060s
sys     0m2.712s

v2:

o redirect coccinelle stderr to ${DIR}/coccicheck.$$.err
o fix typo of paramap/parmap
