From: Joe Perches <joe@...ches.com>
Subject: checkpatch: reduce git commit description style false positives

Some lines in a commit log appear to be commit SHA1 ids like:

ERROR: Please use git commit description style 'commit <12+ chars of sha1> ("<title line>")' - ie: 'commit 0123456789ab ("commit description")'
Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/40e03fd7aaf1f55c75d787128d6d17c5a71226c2.1464358556.git.vdavydov@virtuozzo.com

Reduce the false positives.

WARNING: Possible unwrapped commit description (prefer a maximum 75 chars per line)

Perhaps we could special-case the "unwrapped commit description" as
well - the Link: lines are almost always too wide.
