CODING-STYLE.md: trim down the inspiration section

Omit nearly everything but the projects which serve as inspiration and
the associated (updated) Linux kernel style guide link.

Plus the line wrapping details are already listed a few lines below.

-First of all, kmod coding style must follow every rule for [Linux kernel]. There also exists a tool
-named `checkpatch.pl` to help you check the compliance with it. Just type
-"checkpatch.pl --no-tree patch_name" to check your patch. In theory, you need
-to clean up all the warnings and errors. In certain circumstances one can ignore
-the 80 character per line limit. This is generally only allowed if the
-alternative would make the code even less readable.

-Besides the kernel coding style above, kmod coding style is heavily based on
-oFono's and BlueZ's. Below some basic rules:
