Subject: [RFC PATCH v1] checkpatch: Handle FILE pointer type

When using a "FILE *" type, checkpatch considers this an error.  Fix
this by explicitly defining "FILE" as a common type.

This is useful for user space patches.

With this patch, we now get:
 static void a(FILE *const b)

 <E> <E> <_>WS( )
 <E> <E> <_>IDENT(static)
 <E> <V> <_>WS( )
 <E> <V> <_>DECLARE(void )
 <E> <T> <_>FUNC(a)
 <E> <V> <V>PAREN('(')
 <EV> <N> <_>DECLARE(FILE *const )
 <EV> <T> <_>IDENT(b)
 <EV> <V> <_>PAREN(')') -> V
 <E> <V> <_>WS(
)
32 > . static void a(FILE *const b)
32 > EEVVVVVVVTTTTTVNTTTTTTTTTTTTVVV
32 >  ______________________________

Another error may be throw when we use FIXTURE_{DATA,VARIANT}() structs,
as defined in kselftest_harness.h .  The commented
$typeKselftestHarnessTypedefs should fix it but such definition is
considered as a function instead, because of the closing parenthesis.
I'd like some help to fix this as well.

With $typeKselftestHarnessTypedefs added to $typeTypedefs, we get:
 static void c(const FIXTURE_VARIANT(d) *const e)

 <E> <E> <_>WS( )
 <E> <E> <_>IDENT(static)
 <E> <V> <_>WS( )
 <E> <V> <_>DECLARE(void )
 <E> <T> <_>FUNC(c)
 <E> <V> <V>PAREN('(')
 <EV> <N> <_>MODIFIER(const)
 <EV> <T> <_>WS( )
 <EV> <T> <_>FUNC(FIXTURE_VARIANT)
 <EV> <V> <V>PAREN('(')
 <EVV> <N> <_>IDENT(d)
 <EVV> <V> <_>PAREN(')') -> V
 <EV> <V> <_>WS( )
 <EV> <V> <_>OPV(*)
 <EV> <N> <_>MODIFIER(const)
 <EV> <T> <_>WS( )
 <EV> <T> <_>IDENT(e)
 <EV> <V> <_>PAREN(')') -> V
 <E> <V> <_>WS(
)
