Subject[PATCH 1/5] checkpatch: fix false errors due to macro concatenation
Date
The macro concatenation (##) sequence can cause false errors when checking
macro's. Checkpatch doesn't currently know about the operator.

For example this line,

+ entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data; \

is correct but it produces the following error,

ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxB)
+ entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data;\
^

The line above doesn't have any spacing problems, and if you remove the
macro concatenation sequence checkpatch doesn't give any errors. This change
resolves this by just always removing "##" in every line checked.
