[PATCH] checkpatch: fix uninitialized return value in raw_line subroutine

[Dwaipayan Ray <dwaipayanray1@gmail.com>]

In case the second argument to raw_line subroutine is 0,
$line remains uninitialized and is returned back to the callee.

If the callee tries to perform string concatenation with that
value, checkpatch throws an error:

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
./scripts/checkpatch.pl line 1960.

Fix it by providing an empty string as the initial value
for $line.
