[PATCH v3] mm/page_alloc: fix spaces used for indentation instead of tabs

From: Xiang Gao <gaoxiang17@xxxxxxxxxx>

checkpatch.pl reports two indentation errors in page_alloc.c where
spaces are used instead of tabs:

ERROR: code indent should use tabs where possible
#887: FILE: mm/page_alloc.c:887:
+ VM_WARN_ONCE(get_pageblock_migratetype(page) != migratetype,$

ERROR: code indent should use tabs where possible
#6626: FILE: mm/page_alloc.c:6626:
+ sysctl_min_unmapped_ratio) / 100;$

In __del_page_from_free_list(), the VM_WARN_ONCE at line 887 uses 8
spaces for indentation instead of a tab. The identical VM_WARN_ONCE
calls in __add_to_free_list() and move_to_free_list() both correctly
use a tab.

In setup_min_unmapped_ratio(), the continuation line at 6626 uses 6
tabs + 9 spaces for alignment. Replace the excess spaces with 6 tabs
+ 1 space to correctly align with the opening parenthesis on the
previous line.
