checkpatch: don't warn for space after for_each_* macros

for_each_possible_cpu and similar macros act like loops and it's natural
for them to be written like while () with a space before the paren.

Unfortunately checkpatch.pl warns about this:

WARNING: space prohibited between function name and open parenthesis '('
+ for_each_possible_cpu (cpu) {

Don't warn for all function names matching a reasonable for_each pattern.
