Subject: [PATCH RFC] checkpatch: extend unknown commit id check for multiple lines

The check for unknown commit id cannot process commit references
split across multiple lines such as:

... via commit
3945ff37d2f4 ("linux/bits.h: Extract common header for vDSO").

Extend the check to handle the above.
