checkpatch: fix macro argument reuse test
Multiple line macro definitions where the arguments are separated by line continuations can cause checkpatch to emit invalid syntax regex tests. This can occur when a single argument is modified in a part of a patch. For example: (to not add a diff in the commit message) $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --git db023296f0115d2fe01fdabad54678f2b806da23 Unterminated \g... pattern in regex; <very long regex omitted> And, the test does not work correctly when these arguments are all new as the initial patch line addition "+" is used in the argument name. Fix this by stripping the line continuations and any "+" from the list of arguments.
