Subject: [PATCH V3] checkpatch: Improve MULTISTATEMENT_MACRO_USE_DO_WHILE test

The logic currrently misses macros that start with an if statement.

e.g.:    #define foo(bar)   if (bar) baz;

Add a test for macro content that starts with if

V3: Fix bad merge - Add missing closing brace
V2: V1 was done incorrectly against a much older version of checkpatch
    and so rolled back several improvements.
    I forgot I had used git checkout <commit_id> -- scripts/checkpatch.pl
    and then edited that.
