checkpatch: improve quoted string and line continuation test
Given this patch context, +#define EFI_ST_DISK_IMG { \ + 0x00000240, "\xbe\x5b\x7c\xac\x22\xc0\x74\x0b" /* .[|.".t. */ \ + } the current code misreports a quoted string line continuation defect as there is a single quote in comment. The 'raw' line should not be tested for quote count, the comment substituted line should be instead.
