Documentation/sparse: add hints about __CHECKER__
Several attributes depend on __CHECKER__, but previously there was no clue in the tree about when __CHECKER__ might be defined. Add hints at the most common places (__kernel, __user, __iomem, __bitwise) and in the sparse documentation.

The optional make variable CF can be used to pass arguments to sparse. The

build system passes -Wbitwise to sparse automatically.

Note that sparse defines the __CHECKER__ preprocessor symbol.
