Subject: checkpatch: avoid COMMIT_LOG_LONG_LINE warning for signature tags
Currently checkpatch warns us for long lines in commits even for signature
tag lines.
Generally these lines exceed the 75-character limit because of:
1) long names and long email address
2) some comments on scoped review and acknowledgement, i.e., for a
dedicated pointer on what was reported by the identity in 'Reported-by'
3) some additional comments on CC: stable@xxxxxxxx tags
Exclude signature tag lines from this class of warning.
There were 1896 COMMIT_LOG_LONG_LINE warnings in v5.6..v5.8 before this
patch application and 1879 afterwards.
A quick manual check found all the dropped warnings related to signature
tags.
