Right now, checkstack.pl won’t be able to  print anything on aarch64, because it
won’t be able to match the stating objdump line of a function due to this
missing space. Hence, it saw every stack is zero-size.

After applied this patch, checkpatch.pl is able to match the start of a
function’s objdump, and then be able to calculate each function’s stack
correctly.
