checkpatch: warn on const char foo[] = "bar"; declarations

These declarations should generally be static const to avoid poor
compilation and runtime performance where compilers tend to initialize
the const declaration for every call instead of using .rodata for the
string.

Miscellanea:

 - Convert spaces to tabs for indentation in 2 adjacent checks
