This check was intended to catch extra newlines at the end of a function
definition, but it would trigger on any closing brace, including those
of inline functions and macro definitions, triggering false positives.
Now, only closing braces on a line by themselves trigger this check.

Tested with:

$ cat test.h
/* test.h - Test file */

static inline int foo(void) { return 0; }

static inline int bar(void)
{
        return 1;

}

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict -f test.h # Before this commit
CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace '}'
+
+static inline int foo(void) { return 0; }

CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace '}'
+
+}

total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 2 checks, 9 lines checked

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict -f test.h # After this commit
CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace '}'

Do not test udelay() for a value less than 10usec when passed a variable
instead of a hard-coded number; there is no way for checkpatch to know the
value of the variable.  As it is today, it will complain about variables
with alphanumeric characters plus '_', e.g.  foo_bar, but not variables
with other characters, eg.  foo->bar.

Commit 74349bcc ("checkpatch: add support for floating point

Hexadecimal values are current found in 2 parts.  A hex constant like
0x123456abcdef is found as 0 and then x123456abcdef and later coalesced.

Instead, reverse the order of the 2 searches in $Constant to find 0x
first, then 0 so that the entire hex constant is found all at once.
