[PATCH v3] scripts/checkpatch.pl: remove _deferred and _deferred_once false warning

[PATCH v3] scripts/checkpatch.pl: remove _deferred and _deferred_once false warning

[Maninder Singh]

with commit 98e35f5894cf ("printk: git rid of [sched_delayed] message for
printk_deferred") printk_deferred and printk_deferred_once requires
LOGLEVEL in argument, but checkpatch.pl was not fixed and still reports
it as warning:

WARNING: Possible unnecessary KERN_ALERT
printk_deferred(KERN_ALERT "checking deferred\n");

As suggested by Andy, made 2 functions from logFunction.

1. logFunction: with all checks
2. logFunctionCore: without printk(?:_ratelimited|_once|_deferred) checking

and call logFunctionCore instead of logFunction for checking of loglevel,
which will exclude checking of printk(?:_ratelimited|_once|_deferred).

This way, there is no need to maintain same stanza at multipe places
for removing printk flavours.
