Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: allow commit descriptions on separate line from

The general form for commit id and description is
'Commit <12+hexdigits> ("commit description/subject line")'
but commit logs often have relatively long commit ids and the commit
description emds on the next line like:
Some explanation as to why commit <12+hexdigits>
("commit foo description/subject line") is improved.
Allow this form.
