checkpatch: add test for long udelay 

Holger reported:

: The macro udelay cannot handle large values because of loss-of-precision.
:
: IMHO udelay on ARM is broken, because it also cannot work with fast
: ARM processors (where bogomips >= 3355, which is in sight now). It's
: just not broken enough that someone did something against it ...   so
: the current kludge is good enough.

Until then, warn on long udelay uses.

Also fix uses of $line that should have been $herecurr.
