SubjectRe: [PATCH] checkpatch.pl: fix CAST detection to not screw with parens handling

That is the wrong fix. I realized now that with that patch we would
not claim anything as a CAST anymore. Better is probably to only claim
a CAST if av_pending is not set. Andy, would that work? It seems to be
alright... Do you have some tests for checkpatch?

Testing it with the reported line and some other random samples it
seems to be alright.

Flo

checkpatch.pl: fix CAST detection

We should only claim that something is a cast if we did not encouter a
token before, that did set av_pending.

This fixes the operator * in the line below to be detected as
binary (vs unary).

kmalloc(sizeof(struct alphatrack_ocmd) * true_size, GFP_KERNEL);
