checkpatch: add --strict test for switch/default missing break
switch default case is sometimes written as "default:;". This can cause
new cases added below the default to be defective.
Suggest adding a break; after empty default cases to avoid fallthrough
defects.
Fixed indentation in the other semicolon test above it.
