checkpatch.py: Fix false positive on if/when/for

We need to use == instead of the is operator. If you're unlucky it may
fail because they're not exactly the same object, but hold the same
value.

Example false positive:

E(120): Inappropriate bracing around statement

+            if (0 != nl_attr_get_u8(vxlan[IFLA_VXLAN_LEARNING])
