If the link we need to include is to lore, then we don't need to
change the current syzbot Reported-by, right? Instead of asking 3
tags, we can ask only for:

Reported-by: syzbot+df61b36319e045c00a08@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cafecafecaca0cafecafe@google.com/

But as I mentioned we can't provide the lore link at the moment, we
can only add a text to ask to include it.

This also means that checkpatch does not need special casing for syzbot.
