[LTP] [PATCH 1/1] checkpatch: Disable more kernel specific checks

Disable kernel specific checks:
* BIT_MACRO
mmapstress08.c:26: CHECK: Prefer using the BIT macro
=> reports against valid #define GRAN_NUMBER (1<<8)

* PREFER_DEFINED_ATTRIBUTE_MACRO
Kernel has various attribute macros, it does not make sense to check
without syncing the code
(https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/issues/1318).

IMHO safe to merge, but sure it can wait after the release.
