[PATCH 05/13] checkpatch: try to catch missing VMLINUX_SYMBOL() in vmlinux.lds.h

[Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org>]

From: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>

Seems like every other release we have someone who updates vmlinux.lds.h and
adds C-visible symbols without VMLINUX_SYMBOL() around them.  So start
checking the file and reject assignments which have plain symbols on either
side.

[apw@canonical.com: soften the check, add tests]
