[PATCH v2] scripts/checkpatch.pl: remove _deferred and _deferred_once false warning

[PATCH v2] scripts/checkpatch.pl: remove _deferred and _deferred_once false warning

[Maninder Singh]

printk_deferred and printk_deferred_once require LOGELVEL in argument,
but checkpatch.pl reports it as warning:

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

As suggested by Andy, made 2 functions from logFunctions
1. logFunctions: with all checks
2. logFunctionsCore: without printk(?:_ratelimited|_once|_deferred_once|_deferred)
   checks

Call logFunctionsCore instead of logFunctions for checking of LOGLEVEL,
which will exclude checking of printk(?:_ratelimited|_once|_deferred_once|_deferred).

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

v1 -> v2: made 2 functions to remove _deferred_once also
	as suggested by Andy Whitcroft.
