checkpatch: fix jiffies comparison and others
checkpatch could not distinguish between a variable in a struct named jiffies and the normal jiffies. foo->jiffies would emit a "Comparing jiffies" arning. Update the $Compare variable to do a negative look-behind for "-" when finding a ">" so that a pointer dereference like -> isn't a comparison.
