update checkpatch.pl to version 0.08
This version brings a number of new checks, and a number of bug
fixes. Of note:
- warnings for multiple assignments per line
- warnings for multiple declarations per line
- checks for single statement blocks with braces
This patch includes an update for feature-removal-schedule.txt to
better target checks.
