[PATCH] Change a WARN message in checkpatch

[Paolo Ciarrocchi]

Hi Andy,
I just started using checkpatch and I was confused by the following WARN message:

	no space between function name and open parenthesis

I thought the probelm was that a space was missing while the truth is the opposite.

How about the following patch?
