checkpatch: create an EXPERIMENTAL --fix option to correct patches
Some patches have simple defects in whitespace and formatting that checkpatch could correct automatically. Attempt to do so. Add a --fix option to create a "<inputfile>.EXPERIMENTAL-checkpatch-fixes" file that tries to use normal kernel style for some of these formatting errors. Add warnings against using this file without verifying the changes. Signed-off-by:Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by:
