checkpatch: handle token pasting better 

The mechanism to find possible type tokens can sometimes be confused and go into an
infinite loop.  This happens for example in QEMU for a line that looks like

         uint## BITS ##_t S = _S, T = _T;                            \
         uint## BITS ##_t as, at, xs, xt, xd;                        \

Because the token pasting operator does not have a space before _t, it does not
match $notPermitted.  However, (?x) is turned on in the regular expression for
modifiers, and thus ##_t matches the empty string.  As a result, annotate_values
goes in an infinite loop.

The solution is simply to remove token pasting operators from the string before
looking for modifiers.  In the example above, the string uintBITS_t will be
evaluated as a candidate modifier.  This is not optimal, but it works as long
as people do not write things like a##s##m, and it fits nicely into sub
possible.

For a similar reason, \# should be rejected always, even if it is not
at end of line or followed by whitespace.

The same patch was sent to the Linux kernel mailing list.
