Subject: scripts/headers_check.pl: correct RE in header CONFIG leak check
From: "Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Correct the regular expression in scripts/headers_check.pl to include '_'
as a valid character in the class; otherwise, the check will report a
"leaked" symbol of CONFIG_A_B_C as merely CONFIG_A.
