Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Improve get_quoted_string for TRACE_EVENT macros

The get_quoted_string function does not expect invalid arguments.

The $stat test can return non-statements for complicated macros
like TRACE_EVENT.

Allow the $stat block and test for vsprintf misuses to exceed
the actual block lenght and possibly test invalid lines by
validating the arguments of get_quoted_string.

return "" if either get_quoted_string argument is undefined.

Miscellanea:

o Properly align the comment for the vsprintf extension test
