Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] checkpatch: allow Closes tags with links

As a follow-up of the previous patch modifying the documentation to
allow using the "Closes:" tag, checkpatch.pl is updated accordingly.

checkpatch.pl now mentions the "Closes:" tag between brackets to express
the fact it should be used only if it makes sense.

While at it, checkpatch.pl will not complain if the "Closes" tag is used
with a "long" line, similar to what is done with the "Link" tag.

Fixes: 76f381bb77a0 ("checkpatch: warn when unknown tags are used for links")
Fixes: d7f1d71e5ef6 ("checkpatch: warn when Reported-by: is not followed by Link:")
Closes: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/373
