From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
If you have something like
<sp><sp><sp><sp><sp><sp><sp><sp>blabla
in a patch cleanpatch does not replace the spaces with tabs.
That is because it only handles space in front of tab.
But it's more convenient if it also replaces space with tabs,
even if there is no tab at all, as that is what checkpatch
and other pedants expect.
