checkpatch: warn on uses of __constant_<foo> functions
Emit a warning when using any of these __constant_<foo> forms: __constant_cpu_to_be[x] __constant_cpu_to_le[x] __constant_be[x]_to_cpu __constant_le[x]_to_cpu __constant_htons __constant_ntohs Using any of these outside of include/uapi/ isn't preferred as using the function without __constant_ is identical when the argument is a constant.
