update checkpatch.pl to version 0.12
This version brings a new terse output mode as well as many improvements to
the unary detection and bare type regcognition. It also brings the usual
updates for false positives, though these seem to be slowing markedly
now that the unary detector is no longer just putting its finger in the
air and guessing. Of note:
- new --terse mode producing a single line per report
- loosening of the block brace checks
- new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements
- hugely expanded "bare type" detection
- checks for inline usage
- better handling of already open comment blocks
- handle patches which introduce or remove lines without newlines

allow const and sparse annotations on possible types
handle possible types as regular types everywhere
prefer plain inline over __inline__ and __inline
