Subject: [PATCH 4/4] checkpatch: replace magic value for TAB size

The size of 8 characters used for both TAB and indentation is
embedded as magic value allover the checkpatch script, and this
makes the script less readable.

Replace the magic value 8 with the perl variable "$tabsize".
>From the context of the code it's clear if it is used for
indentation or tabulation, so no need to use two separate
variables.

As side benefit of this change, it makes easy to replace the TAB
size when this script is used by other projects with different
requirements in their coding style (e.g. OpenOCD [1] requires
TAB size of 4 characters [2]).
In these cases the script will be probably modified and adapted,
so there is no need (at least for the moment) to expose this
setting on the script's command line.
