Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: add checks for fixes tags

SHA1 should be at least 12 digits long, as suggested
by Stephen:
Https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/10/626
Https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/10/304

And the fixes tag should also be capitalized (Fixes:),
as suggested by David:
Https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/1/1067

Add checks to the above issues.
