[PATCH]CHECKPATCH:fix misleading output on spaces/tabs error

From: Daolong Wang
Date: Wed Mar 19 2008 - 17:41:55 EST


I got confused by this line:

"ERROR: use tabs not spaces"

It literally means "use tabs but not spaces is WRONG", which
is WRONG.

"ERROR: do not use spaces when tabs expected"

sounds more appropriate.
