Antonio Borneo 7b18496cbc checkpatch: fix multiple const * types 
Commit 1574a29f8e ("checkpatch: allow multiple const * types") claims to
support repetition of pattern "const *", but it actually allows only one
extra instance.

Check the following lines
	int a(char const * const x[]);
	int b(char const * const *x);
	int c(char const * const * const x[]);
	int d(char const * const * const *x);

with command

	./scripts/checkpatch.pl --show-types -f filename

to find that only the first line passes the test, while a warning
is triggered by the other 3 lines:

	WARNING:FUNCTION_ARGUMENTS: function definition argument
	'char const * const' should also have an identifier name

The reason is that the pattern match halts at the second asterisk in the
line, thus the remaining text starting with asterisk fails to match a
valid name for a variable.

Fixed by replacing "?" (Match 1 or 0 times) with "{0,4}" (Match no more
than 4 times) in the regular expression.  Fix also the similar test for
types in unusual order.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
