[PATCH] checkpatch: fix left brace warning

[PATCH] checkpatch: fix left brace warning

[Geyslan G. Bem]

This patch escapes a regex that uses left brace.

Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the warning: "Unescaped
left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;"

Comment from regcomp.c in Perl source: "Currently we don't warn when the
lbrace is at the start of a construct. This catches it in the middle of
a literal string, or when it's the first thing after something like
"\b"."

This works as a complement to 4e5d56bd.

[PATCH] checkpatch: Fix left brace warning

[Eddie Kovsky]

Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the following warning:

    Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;

This patch fixes the warnings by escaping occurrences of the left brace
inside the regular expression.

Valdis Kletnieks sent a fix for this awhile ago:
