[PATCH] checkpatch: Fix unescaped left brace

From: Dwaipayan Ray
Date: Sun Nov 15 2020 - 15:30:06 EST


There is an unescaped left brace in a regex in OPEN_BRACE
check. This throws a runtime error when checkpatch is run
with --fix flag and the OPEN_BRACE check is executed.

Fix it by escaping the left brace.

Fixes: 8d1824780f2f ("checkpatch: add --fix option for a couple OPEN_BRACE misuses")
