[PATCH] checkpatch: Fix false positives for --strict "space after cast" test

[Joe Perches]

commit 89da401f6cff ("checkpatch: improve "no space after cast" test")
in -next improved the cast test for non pointer types, but also
introduced false positives for some types of static inlines.

Add a test for an open brace to the exclusions to avoid these
false positives.
