checkpatch: don't warn on some function pointer return styles
Checks for some function pointer return styles are too strict. Fix them. Multiple spaces after function pointer return types are allowed. int (*foo)(int bar) Spaces after function pointer returns of pointer types are not required. int *(*foo)(int bar) Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
