Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Add some --strict coding style checks

Argument alignment across multiple lines should
match the open parenthesis.

Logical continuations should be at the end of
the previous line, not the start of a new line.

These are not required by CodingStyle so make the
tests active only when using --strict.

Tested with:
int foo(void)
{
	if (foo &&
	    bar())
		baz();

	if (foo &&
	     bar())
		baz();

	foo_some_long_function(bar,
			       baz);

	foo_some_long_function(bar,
		baz);

	return 0;
}
