The current checkpatch test for split strings does not find several
cases that should be found.

For instance:

  /* Else poor success; go back to mode in "active" table */
  } else {
  IWL_DEBUG_RATE(mvm,
-        "LQ: GOING BACK TO THE OLD TABLE suc=%d cur-tpt=%d old-tpt=%d\n",
+        "GOING BACK TO THE OLD TABLE: SR %d "
+        "cur-tpt %d old-tpt %d\n",
         window->success_ratio,
         window->average_tpt,
        lq_sta->last_tpt);

does not currently emit a warning.

Improve the test to find these cases.

Add more exceptions to reduce false positives for assembly and octal/hex
string constants.
