[PATCH] checkpatch: Follow scripts/spdxcheck.py's switch to python3

From: Vincent Pelletier
Date: Thu Jul 08 2021 - 06:29:29 EST


Since commit d0259c42abff ("spdxcheck.py: Use Python 3") spdxcheck.py
expects to be run using python3. "python" may still be a python2 alias.
Instead, obey scripts/spdxcheck.py's shebang by executing it without
pre-selecting an interpreter.
Also, test python3 presence in path.
