[PATCH] checkpatch: Improve octal permissions test speed

[Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>]

The current octal permissions test is very slow.

When commit 3fc9249967
("checkpatch: add checks for constant non-octal permissions")
was added, processing time approximately tripled.

Regain almost all of the performance by not looping through all the
possible functions unless the line contains one of the functions.

There's probably some perl "join('|', foo)" that would
simplify and remove the initial foreach loop, but I don't
know what it might be off the top of my head.  Andy?
