Currently, checkpatch warns us if an assignment operator is placed
at the start of a line and not at the end of previous line.

E.g., running checkpatch on commit 8195b1396ec8 ("hv_netvsc: fix
deadlock on hotplug") reports:

CHECK: Assignment operator '=' should be on the previous line
+	struct netvsc_device *nvdev
+		= container_of(w, struct netvsc_device, subchan_work);

Provide a simple fix by appending assignment operator to the previous
line and removing from the current line, if both the lines are additions
(ie start with '+')

Changes in v2:
add check if both the lines are additions (ie start with '+')

Changes in v3:
quote $operator; test with division assignment operator ('/=')
