[PATCH 1/1] checkpatch.pl: 1-tab relative indent for conditionals/blocks

[Gregory Fong <gregory.0xf0@gmail.com>]

The following would incorrectly pass checkpatch:

void foo(void)
{
        if (a) {
                something;
                somethingelse;
        } else {
                        messed_up_indentation;
                }
}

Assume single-tab indentation of blocks to catch this.
Also add "else" to the list to check.
