[patch v2] checkpatch: Signature format verification

[anish]

From: anish kumar <anish198519851985@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch generates warning when there is no space between
the patch submitter and successive mail-id.

Modification:Suggested by Joe Perches(joe@xxxxxxxxxxx) that
we can add this check for all signature types so added that
change and added logic to remove the inefficent looping so
that it can come out as soon as signature type is matched.
