Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Add a --strict test for macro argument reuse and precedence

Add a test for reuse of macro arguments to highlight any possible
side-effects from this reuse.

Avoid this check on token name pasting and when the
argument is used in a typeof or a __builtin.

Add a test for macro arguents that have leading or trailing operators
where the argument isn't parenthesized to avoid possible precedence
issues.

These tests are noisy so make them --strict.

This is a slight expansion of a patch I sent a few years back.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/6/151

This one at least runs.

Maybe it's useful to find some of the possible macro misuses,
but it is _very_ noisy.
