[PATCH] checkpatch: add __asm__ to function-space-paren exception list

[Timur Tabi]

checkpatch.pl thinks that __asm__ is a function name, so it complains about
a space between the function name and a parenthesis when it sees
"__asm__ ("mov ax,bx")".

This change will also encourage developers to use '__asm__' instead of 'asm'.
