[PATCH] checkpatch: Add check for space indentation in Kconfig

[Kuan-Wei Chiu]

U-Boot requires Kconfig options to be indented with tabs, whereas Linux
allows spaces. Add a U-Boot specific check to warn when spaces are used
for indentation in Kconfig files.

To ensure this check is executed, move the u_boot_line() invocation in
process() to occur before the valid source file check. Previously,
Kconfig files were skipped by the file extension filter before the
U-Boot specific checks could run.

Example warning:

WARNING: Kconfig indentation should use tabs
+    bool
