[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH] checkpatch: handle line break between commit and hash value

[Ayush <ayush@disroot.org>]

While checking for improperly formed commit desciptions,
those cases where there is a line break between commit and
hash value, are not handled properly and an error is given.

This adds new conditions to parse and identify such commits and
to not give error in such cases.

following type of cases are handled:

- Without quotes in commits message.
commit
f4d51dffc6c01 ("Linux 5.9-rc4")

- With quotes in commit message.
commit
77f4689de17c ("fix regression in "epoll: Keep a reference on files added to the check list"")

(commits taken as example only)
