Enable strict and warnings mode for checksrc.pl to ensure we aren't missing anything due to bugs in the checking code. This uncovered a few things which are all fixed in this commit:

  • several variables were used uninitialized
  • several variables were not defined in the correct scope
  • the whitelist filehandle was read even if the file didn't exist
  • the enable_warn() call when a disable counter had expired was passing incorrect variables, but since the checkwarn() call is unlikely to hit (the counter is only decremented to zero on actual ignores) it didn't manifest a problem.
