checkpatch: don't warn on some function pointer return styles

Browse Source 
Checks for some function pointer return styles are too strict.  Fix
them.

Multiple spaces after function pointer return types are allowed.
	int  (*foo)(int bar)

Spaces after function pointer returns of pointer types are not required.
	int *(*foo)(int bar)
