checkpatch: use $String consistently
String detection where a source line with a string constant is converted
can either have an X or a space.
Some of the string detection regexes do not allow the space character, but
there is a handy $String variable that does.
Convert the remaining uses of string detection regexes to use the $String
variable to reduce possible false negatives.
