Subject: [PATCH 2/2] checkpatch: Ignore networking block comment style first lines in file

It's very common to have normal block comments for the initial
comments of a file description preface.

So for files in drivers/net and net/ don't emit a warning when
the first comment block in the file uses the normal block comment
style and not the networking block comment style.
