Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: add dedicated checker for 'Fixes:' tag

According to submitting-patches.rst, 'Fixes:' tag has a little
stricter condition about the one line summary:
"
Do not split the tag across multiple
lines, tags are exempt from the "wrap at 75 columns" rule in order to simplify
parsing scripts
"

And the current 'Fixes:' checker in "# Check for git id commit length and
improperly formed commit descriptions" doesn't check for invalid commit id
length, so I think it is better to add dedicated checker for 'Fixes:' TAG.
