checkpatch: dissallow spaces between stars in pointer types
Disallow spaces within multiple pointer stars (*) in both casts and definitions. Both of these would now be reported: (char * *) char * *foo; Also now consistently detects and reports the attributes within these structures making the error report itself clearer.
