[PATCH] checkpatch: check for #if 0/#if 1

[Prakruthi Deepak Heragu]

The #if 0 and #if 1 are used to toggle features. Wharn if #if 1 or #if 0
is present. If #if 0 is present, warn about that part of code being
redundant and that it could be removed. Also, if #if 1 is present, suggest
that if the code is required then the #if 1 can be removed. In either
case, these preprocessor directives can be removed.
