make coccicheck is used in order to apply coccinelle semantic patches,
and see if any of the transformations found within contrib/coccinelle/
can be applied to the current code base.
Pass every file to a single invocation of spatch, instead of running
spatch once per source file.
This reduces the time required to run make coccicheck by a significant
amount of time:
Prior timing of make coccicheck
real 6m14.090s
user 25m2.606s
sys 1m22.919s
New timing of make coccicheck
real 1m36.580s
user 7m55.933s
sys 0m18.219s
This is nearly a 4x decrease in the time required to run make
coccicheck. This is due to the overhead of restarting spatch for every
file. By processing all files at once, we can amortize this startup cost
across the total number of files, rather than paying it once per file.

Woops, ignore this version, it doesn't quite work.
Thanks,
