checkpatch: add checks for constant non-octal permissions
umode_t permissions are sometimes mistakenly written with decimal constants. Verify that numeric permissions are using octal. Add a list of the most commonly used functions and macros that have umode_t permissions and the argument position. Add a $Octal type to $Constant. Allow $LvalOrFunc to be a pointer indirection too.
