The command "make coccicheck C=1 CHECK=scripts/coccicheck" results in the
error:
        ./scripts/coccicheck: line 65: -1: shift count out of range

This happens because every time the C variable is specified,
the shell arguments need to be "shifted" in order to take only
the last argument, which is the C file to test. These shell arguments
mostly comprise flags that have been set in the Makfeile. However,
when coccicheck is specified in the make command as a rule,
number of shell arguments is zero, thus paasing the invalid value -1
to the shift command, resuting in an error.

This patch modifies coccicheck to use the shift command only when
number of shell arguments is not zero.
