Subject: checkpatch: only encode UTF-8 quoted printable mail headers
As PERL uses its own internal character encoding, always calling
encode("utf8", ...) on the author name may cause corruption, leading to an
author signoff mismatch.
This happens in the following cases:
- If a patch is in ISO-8859, and contains a non-ASCII author name in
the From: line, it is converted to UTF-8, while the Signed-off-by
line will still be in ISO-8859.
- If a patch is in UTF-8, and contains a non-ASCII author name in the
body (not header) From: line, it is assumed to be encoded in PERL's
internal character encoding, and converted to UTF-8 incorrectly,
while the Signed-off-by line will be in real UTF-8.
Fix this by only doing the encode step if the From: line used UTF-8 quoted
printable encoding.
