Addresses feedback on v1:

 - The removal of the "cat $@.log" is gone.
 - Split up into N changes.
 - Explained why 960154b9c17 (coccicheck: optionally batch spatch
   invocations, 2019-05-06) broke things and produced duplicate hunks
   in 2/4: tl;dr: spatch does its own locking etc., xargs -n trips it
   up.
 - Set number of batch processes to 8, as suggested by Jeff King.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (4):
  Makefile/coccicheck: add comment heading for all SPATCH flags
  Makefile/coccicheck: speed up and fix bug with duplicate hunks
  Makefile/coccicheck: allow for setting xargs concurrency
  Makefile/coccicheck: set SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE to 8

This speeds up "make coccicheck" after "make clean" as advertized for
me:

   before: 572.64s user 33.08s system 622% cpu 1:37.30  total
   after:  195.40s user  9.97s system 629% cpu   32.612 total

However, it also misses several conversions that coccicheck generated
without this series for the example added by the patch at the bottom.
Here's the difference of diffstats (< before, > after):

That's with the current spatch version 1.1.0-00072-g3dc5d027.
