checkpatch: fix false positive MISSING_BREAK warnings with --file
Using --file mode can give false positives with MISSING_BREAK fall-through warnings on simple but long multiple consecutive case statements. Look for all lines before a case statement for a switch or a statement when using --file mode. Fix a misspelling of preceded while there.
