Subject: [PATCH 2/2] checkpatch: Don't check for unified diff format in git
 sendemail headers

When checkpatch is used as a git sendemail-validate hook, it's also passed
in the email header for sanity check. These headers are, as expected, not
in unified diff format. So, don't complain about unified diff format for
these header files.
