[LTP] [PATCH 2/2] Add CHECK_NOFLAGS and checkpatch.pl to 'make check'

The same we could do with checkbashisms for tests using new shell API.

Thanks for doing this!

Could it be possible to run it only for tests which use new API? Otherwise it
takes long time before we can use it in CI due lots of output from tests using
legacy API:

tst_record_childstatus.c:1: WARNING: Missing or malformed SPDX-License-Identifier tag in line 1
=> tst_record_childstatus.c uses test.h.

Kind regards,
Petr
