This patch addresses several problems in bypass.c found by checkpatch.
Furthermore it removes/adds some empty lines to make the code more readable.
The following problems are fixed:
- line over 80 characters
- space after logical operator !
- spaces instead of tabs
- missing empty line after local declarations
- empty line after {
The empty line issues were not discovered by checkpatch but in my opinion these
changes make perfect sense in terms of readability.

Theory of Operation: The Silicom Bypass Network Interface Cards (NICs) are network cards with paired ports (2 or 4). The pairs either act as a "wire" allowing the network packets to pass or insert the device in between the two ports. When paired with the on-board hardware watchdog or other failsafe, they provide high availability for the network in the face of software outages or maintenance. The software requirements are for a kernel level driver that interfaces with the bypass and watchdog, as well as for control software. User control can be either the provided standalone executable (/bin/bpctl) or the API exposed by the Silicom library.
