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.
