Dwaipayan Ray 7ebe1d173c checkpatch: extend attributes check to handle more patterns
It is generally preferred that the macros from
include/linux/compiler_attributes.h are used, unless there is a reason not
to.

checkpatch currently checks __attribute__ for each of packed, aligned,
section, printf, scanf, and weak.  Other declarations in
compiler_attributes.h are not handled.

Add a generic test to check the presence of such attributes.  Some
attributes require more specific handling and are kept separate.

Also add fixes to the generic attributes check to substitute the correct
conversions.

New attributes which are now handled are:

__always_inline__
__assume_aligned__(a, ## __VA_ARGS__)
__cold__
__const__
__copy__(symbol)
__designated_init__
__externally_visible__
__gnu_inline__
__malloc__
__mode__(x)
__no_caller_saved_registers__
__noclone__
__noinline__
__nonstring__
__noreturn__
__pure__
__unused__
__used__

Declarations which contain multiple attributes like
__attribute__((__packed__, __cold__)) are also handled except when proper
conversions for one or more attributes of the list cannot be determined.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
