Disable commit log length check in case of signature tag. If the commit
log line has valid signature tags such as "Reported-and-tested-by" with
more than 75 characters, suppress the long length warning.
For instance in commit ac854131d984 ("USB: core: Fix misleading driver bug
report"), the corresponding patch contains a "Reported by" tag line which
exceeds 75 chars. And there is no valid way to shorten the length.
