coccicheck: make SPFLAGS more useful
SPFLAGS is set early, it means that any heuristics done on coccicheck cannot be overridden currently. Move SPFLAGS after OPTIONS and set this at the end. This lets you override any heuristics as coccinelle treats conflicts by only listening to the last option that makes sense. v3: this patch was added in the v3 series v4: Update Documentation/coccinelle.txt explaining how SPFLAGS works as well.
