Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch.pl: add switch to turn off check for Change-Id

A commit hook for the Gerrit code review servers inserts change indeftifiers.  These identifiers are noise in the context of the upstream kernel.  However, they are needed in most developement environments and the error needs to be ignored for static analysis tools.
