CI: Introduce Smatch for static analysis (#125)
Smatch[1][2] is a pluggable static analysis for C. It may help us find
out the potential problem of the example code.

Doing with smatch, if set the --file-output flag, it will generate the
{}.c.smatch report for each c file. This will make a little bit
complicated to collect all the report messages. So, here we stay at the
default setting, stdout for the smatch messages.

For more information, see:
- https://lwn.net/Articles/696624/
- https://elinux.org/images/d/d3/Bargmann.pdf

Also, fix the warning from Smatch:

Smatch failed: 1 warning(s), 1 error(s)
lkmpg/examples/procfs2.c:57 procfile_write() error: buffer overflow 'procfs_buffer' 1024 <= 1024
lkmpg/examples/kbleds.c:58 kbleds_init() warn: argument 5 to %lx specifier is cast from pointer

Furthermore, the effect of the write operation in procfs2.c is too
implied. So after writing, print the buffer every time.

Close #122

Enforce Linux kernel coding style (#88)
The only exception is to indent with four spaces rather than tabs
for sticking to compact layout of source listing.

This patch makes source listing shorter and more compact, that helps
when browsing.

Avoid strlen by assigning explicit length of string for proc_read (#18)
Since the address of buffer is userspace address, it may trigger an unexpected fault on strlen(buffer).

On Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS ( 5.8.0-63-generic ), using strlen(buffer) will result in the following:

It is vital to denote the file name and summary for each source,
otherwise readers could not figure out the corresponding files.
