checkpatch: add test for assignment at start of line
Kernel style seems to prefer line wrapping an assignment with the
assignment operator on the previous line like:
<leading tabs> identifier =
expression;
over
<leading tabs> identifier
= expression;
somewhere around a 50:1 ratio
$ git grep -P "[^=]=\s*$" -- "*.[ch]" | wc -l
52008
$ git grep -P "^\s+[\*\/\+\|\%\-]?=[^=>]" | wc -l
1161
So add a --strict test for that condition.
