Subject[PATCH] checkpatch: Warn on uses of __constant_<foo> functions
From
Date
Emit a warning when using any of these __constant_<foo> forms:

__constant_cpu_to_be[x]
__constant_cpu_to_le[x]
__constant_be[x]_to_cpu
__constant_le[x]_to_cpu
__constant_htons
__constant_ntohs

Using any of these outside of include/uapi/ isn't preferred
as using the function without __constant_ is identical when
the argument is a constant.
