[PATCH] checkpatch: Fix macro argument reuse test

[Joe Perches]

Multiple line macro definitions where the arguments are
separated by line continuations can cause checkpatch to
emit invalid syntax regex tests.

This can occur when a single argument is modified in a
part of a patch.

For example: (to not add a diff in the commit message)

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --git db023296f0115d2fe01fdabad54678f2b806da23
Unterminated \g... pattern in regex; <very long regex omitted>

And, the test does not work correctly when these arguments
are all new as the initial patch line addition "+" is used
in the argument name.

Fix this by stripping the line continuations and any "+"
from the list of arguments.
