checkpatch: Add --strict test for function pointer calling style

Browse Source 
Peter Hurley wrote:

The use of older function ptr calling style, (*fn)(), makes static
analysis more error-prone; replace with modern fn() style.

So make checkpatch emit a --strict test for that condition.

Update the unnecessary parentheses test for dereferencing
objects at the same time and create a $fix mechanism too.
