asterisk-slash sequence in quoted string confuses checkpatch.pl

Hello.

The below code confuses checkpatch.pl ver 0.21.

Regards.
----------
# cat /tmp/foo.c
void foo(void)
{
	bar(" /proc/\\*/");
	bar(" /proc/\\$/");
}
# /usr/src/vanilla/linux-2.6.27.2/scripts/checkpatch.pl --file /tmp/foo.c
ERROR: need consistent spacing around '/' (ctx:WxV)
#4: FILE: tmp/foo.c:4:
+       bar(" /proc/\\$/");
              ^

total: 1 errors, 0 warnings, 5 lines checked

/tmp/foo.c has style problems, please review.  If any of these errors
are false positives report them to the maintainer, see
CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
