update checkpatch.pl to version 0.06

Update to checkpatch.pl v0.06.  Of note:

 - do { and else handled correctly as control structures for { matching
 - trailing whitespace correctly tripped when line otherwise empty
 - support for const, including const foo * const bar
 - multiline macros defining values correctly reported

This version of checkpatch.pl can be found at the following URL:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/apw/checkpatch/checkpatch.pl-0.06

Full Changelog:

Andy Whitcroft (14):
      Version: 0.06
      cleanup the Type regular expression declarations
      fix up block counting
      end of line counts as a space for ++ and --
      do { needs the same checks as if, for et al
      handle "const foo * const a" as a valid type
      add spacing checks following ;
      complete whitespace lines should trip trailing whitespace check
      else is also a block control structure
      badly formatted else can trip function declaration
      detect and report trailing statements after else
      types need to be terminated by a boundary
      multiline macros defining values should be surrounded by parentheses
      soften the wording of the Signed-off-by: warnings
