Adding check for `while` and `for` statements, which condition has more than one line.
The former checkpatch.pl can check `if` statement, which condition has more than one line, whether block misses brace round, like this: ''' if (cond1 || cond2) statement; ''' But it doesn't do the same check for `for` and `while` statements. Using `(?:...)` instead of `(...)` in regex pattern catch. Because `(?:...)` is faster and avoids unwanted side-effect.
