[PATCH] checkpatch: Don't check .pl files, improve absolute path commit log test

[Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>]

perl files (*.pl) are mostly inappropriate to check coding styles so
exempt them from long line checks and various .[ch] file type tests.

And as well, only scan absolute paths in the commit log, not in the patch.
