Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: remove obsolete check for __dev* section markers

Commit 54b956b90360 ("Remove __dev* markings from init.h")
completely removed the definitions of __dev* section
markers from init.h. They can no longer pop up in the kernel
and hence the check for those markers is unneeded now.

So remove __dev* section markers check from checkpatch.
