This patch makes checkpatch.pl complain if you break up conditions in
the wrong way.

Wrong:
	if ((really_long_condition)
		&& (second_condition)) { ...
Right:
	if ((really_long_condition) &&
		(second_condition)) { ...

If you do it in the wrong way the message is:  "put the && or || at the
end of the previous line"
