[PATCH] checkpatch: don't require octal permissions for "0" in module_param

From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Mon Dec 11 2017 - 05:48:26 EST


File permissions set to "0" in the module_param family of macros mean
that the parameter should not show up in sysfs. Don't require octal
permissions in this case.
