checkpatch: emit an error when using predefined timestamp macros
Since commit fe7c36c7 ("Makefile: Build with -Werror=date-time if the compiler supports it"), use of __DATE__, __TIME__, and __TIMESTAMP__ has not been allowed. As this test is gcc version specific (> 4.9), it hasn't prevented a few new uses from creeping into the kernel sources. Make checkpatch complain about them.
