checkpatch: add test for comma use that should be semicolon
There are commas used as statement terminations that should typically have
used semicolons instead. Only direct assignments or use of a single
function or value on a single line are detected by this test.
e.g.:
foo = bar(), /* typical use is semicolon not comma */
bar = baz();
Add an imperfect test to detect these comma uses.
No false positives were found in testing, but many types of false
negatives are possible.
e.g.:
foo = bar() + 1, /* comma use, but not direct assignment */
bar = baz();
