If a C preprocessor macro is continued onto another line using
a backslash line continuation, checkpatch.pl will complain about leading
spaces used to indent the multiline conditional.

This leads to warnings similar to the following

  WARNING: please, no spaces at the start of a line
  #107: FILE: arch/m68k/include/asm/mcfgpio.h:107:
  +    defined(CONFIG_M53xx) || defined(CONFIG_M54xx) || \$

  WARNING: please, no spaces at the start of a line
  #108: FILE: arch/m68k/include/asm/mcfgpio.h:108:
  +    defined(CONFIG_M5441x)$

To fix these warnings, modify the test to also exclude lines which end
in a backslach continuation, as these lines should only occur within
a multiline C Preprocessor check.
