[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4] scripts/checkpatch.pl: add check for `while` and `for`

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4] scripts/checkpatch.pl: add check for `while` and `for`

[Su Hang]

Adding check for `while` and `for` statements, which condition has more than
one line.

The former checkpatch.pl can check `if` statement, which condition has more
than one line, whether block misses brace round, like this:
'''
if (cond1 ||
    cond2)
    statement;
'''
But it doesn't do the same check for `for` and `while` statements.

Using `(?:...)` instead of `(...)` in regex pattern catch.
Because `(?:...)` is faster and avoids unwanted side-effect.

The second line checks for preprocessor statements and does not need to
be extended with (?:if|while|for).

I changed this and applied the patch.  Thanks,

Paolo
