checkpatch: remove false unbalanced braces warning
Lines containing "} else {" should not be detected as unbalanced braces.
But the second check can be reduced to ".+else\s*{" and it therefore
never checked if the beginning of a line contains any other character
(like the relevant "}"). This check would also return true for "} else
{" and create warnings like
CHECK: Unbalanced braces around else statement
#391: FILE: ./net/batman-adv/tvlv.c:391:
+ } else {
The check can be changed to check the whole line for the missing "}" to
avoid this false positive.
Fixes: 0d1532456c26 ("checkpatch: notice unbalanced else braces in a patch")
