Chris Down 263afd39c0 checkpatch: don't warn about colon termination in linker scripts
This check erroneously flags cases like the one in my recent printk
enumeration patch[0], where the spaces are syntactic, and `section:' vs.
`section :' is syntactically important:

    ERROR: space prohibited before that ':' (ctx:WxW)
    #258: FILE: include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h:314:
    +       .printk_fmts : AT(ADDR(.printk_fmts) - LOAD_OFFSET) {

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
