[PATCH 10/13] checkpatch: ensure we actually detect if assignments split across lines

[Andy Whitcroft]

From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When checking for assignments within if conditionals we check the whole
of the condition, but the match is performed using a line constrained
regular expression.  This means we can miss split conditionals or those
on the second line.  Allow the check to span lines.
