checkpatch.pl was unable to handle \\ within quoted string.

+static void test(char *sp, char *dp)
+{
+       if (*sp == '\\') {
+               *dp++ = '\\';
+               *dp++ = '\\';
+       }
+}

I hope this patch can fix it.
But I don't know whether there is a side effect or not.
Should we use "X" rather than "\\"?
