When the %.cocci.patch target was defined in 63f0a758a0 (add coccicheck make target, 2016-09-15), it included a mechanism to suppress the noisy output, similar to the $(QUIET_<x>) family of variables. In the case where one wants to inspect the output hidden by $(QUIET_<x>), one could define $(V) for verbose output. In the %.cocci.patch target, this was not implemented. Move the output suppression into the $(QUIET_SPATCH) variable which is used like the other $(QUIET_<x>) variables. While we're at it, change the number of spaces printed from 5 to 4, like the other variables there.
