[RFC PATCH] checkpatch: Add a --strict test for macro argument reuse

[Joe Perches]

Add a test for reuse of macro arguments to highlight
any possible side-effects from this reuse.

Avoid this check on token name pasting and when the
argument is used in a typeof or a __builtin.

There are times when using a temporary for macro arguments
is overkill.  This patch might be overkill too.
