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.
