Subject: [PATCH v1] checkpatch: allow build files to reference other build files

Add an exception to the EMBEDDED_FILENAME warning for build files. This
fixes the below warnings where the Kconfig and Makefile files reference
other similarly named build files.

  WARNING:EMBEDDED_FILENAME: It's generally not useful to have the
  filename in the file
  #24: FILE: Kconfig:34:
  +source "drivers/willmcvicker/Kconfig"

  WARNING:EMBEDDED_FILENAME: It's generally not useful to have the
  filename in the file
  #36: FILE: Makefile:667:
  +	} > Makefile
