Alex Dowad 485ff23ed2 checkpatch: make types found in a source file/patch local
checkpatch uses various cues in its input patches and files to discover
the names of user-defined types and modifiers.  It then uses that
information when processing expressions to discover potential style
issues.

Unfortunately, in rare cases, this means that checkpatch may give
different results if you run it on several input files in one execution,
or one by one!

The reason is that it may identify a type (or something that looks like a
type) in one file, and then carry this information over when processing a
different file.

For example, drivers/staging/media/bcm2048/radio-bcm2048.c contains this
line (in a macro):

	size value;

and drivers/staging/media/davinci_vpfe/vpfe_video.c has this line:

	while (size * *nbuffers > vpfe_dev->video_limit)

If checkpatch processes these 2 files in a single command like:
	./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f $file1 $file2
the (spurious) "size" type detected in the first file will cause it to flag
the second file for improper use of the pointer dereference operator.

To fix this, store types and modifiers found in a file in separate arrays
from built-in ones, and reset the arrays of types and modifiers found in
files at the beginning of each new source file.
