Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Make camelcase test --strict and less noisy

CamelCase tests are a bit noisy against certain
types of code acceptable to some kernel developers.

Make the test applicable only with --strict.

Do not bleat a message on nominally acceptable
CamelCase uses that are separated by an _ like
drm_core_has_MTRR.
