[PATCH] sparse type checking on function pointers

[Dave Olien]

This patch fixes type checking on function arguments that are pointers
to functions.  Below is an example.

int total;

void dofunc(void (f)(int))
{
	f(5);
}

void func(int z)
{
	total += z;
}

main(void)
{
	dofunc(func);
}

without this patch, check reports the warnings:

warning: testfunc.c:16:9: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types)
warning: testfunc.c:16:9:   expected void ( f )( ... )
warning: testfunc.c:16:9:   got void ( * )( ... )
