Christophe Leroy 22ebb72b32 checkpatch: remove GCC_BINARY_CONSTANT warning ...

This warning was there to avoid the use of 0bxxx values as they are not
supported by gcc prior to v4.3

Since cafa0010cd ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6"),
it's not an issue anymore and using such values can increase readability
of code.

: Seems sensible as the other compilers also support binary literals from
: relatively old versions.
