Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: support function pointers for unnamed function definition arguments

Current unnamed function definition argument does not include function
pointer cases and it reports warnings like:

WARNING: function definition argument 'void' should also have an identifier name
+unsigned int (*dummy)(void);

Support function pointers for unnamed function arguments.
