checkpatch.pl lints for spaces around operators including / (slash). Code lines starting with #include are ignored, as slashes in those represent path separators.
In Objective-C code, #import is often used in preference to #include, as preprocessor-based multiple-#include defenses are considered non-idiomatic in that language. This change extends checkpatch.pl to treat #import lines in the same way as #include, avoiding false positives for "missing" spaces around path separators on those lines.
