[PATCH] checkpatch: Avoid some commit message long line warnings

[Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>]

Fixes: and Link: lines may exceed 75 chars in the commit log.

So too can stack dump and dmesg lines and lines that seem
like filenames.

And Fixes: lines don't need to have a "commit" prefix before the
commit id.

Add exceptions for these types of lines.
