Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next 1/3] iplink_can: fix coding style for pointer
 format

checkpatch.pl complains about the pointer symbol * being attached to the
type instead of being attached to the variable:

  ERROR: "foo* bar" should be "foo *bar"
  #85: FILE: ip/iplink_can.c:85:
  +		       const char* name)

  ERROR: "foo* bar" should be "foo *bar"
  #93: FILE: ip/iplink_can.c:93:
  +static void print_ctrlmode(enum output_type t, __u32 flags, const char* key)

Fix those two warnings.
