[PATCH 3.5.0-rc2] checkpatch:Fix un-necessary whitespace warning.

[Srinivas KANDAGATLA]

From: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@xxxxxx>

This patch fixes "check spaces before a quoted newline" to consider
only new lines added in the patch, rather than checking all the lines in
the patch.

Without this patch the "check spaces before a quoted newline" will check
all the lines in the patch and throw un-nessary warnings.
