[PATCH] scripts/checkpatch.pl - don't check for const structs if list is empty

[Valdis KlÄtnieks]

If the list of structures we expect to be const is empty (due to file permissions,
or the file being empty, etc), we get odd complaints about structures:

[/usr/src/linux-next] scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/staging/netlogic/platform_net.h
No structs that should be const will be found - file '/usr/src/linux-next/scripts/const_structs.checkpatch': Permission denied
WARNING: struct  should normally be const
#9: FILE: drivers/staging/netlogic/platform_net.h:9:
+struct xlr_net_data {

WARNING: struct  should normally be const
#20: FILE: drivers/staging/netlogic/platform_net.h:20:
+	struct xlr_fmn_info *gmac_fmn_info;

total: 0 errors, 2 warnings, 0 checks, 21 lines checked

Fix it so that it actually *obeys* what it said about not finding structures.
