checkpatch: catch all occurences of type and cast spacing errors per line
Fix up type and cast spacing checks such that all occurences on a line are examined and reported. For example the line below has a valid cast and a bad type, but currently we check the cast first which is good and stop: u16* bar = (u16 *)baz; We will also only report one of the errors in this example: u16* bar = (u16*)bad; Move to iterating across all casts and all types, reporting any failure.
