regression: checkpatch.pl fails when called via symlink

    checkpatch: look for common misspellings

checkpatch.pl dies with

checkpatch.pl: Can't open /path/to/spelling.txt for reading: No such file or directory

if it's called through a symlink in /path/to/checkpatch.pl pointing at
the actual script.

Please fail graciously, and just ignore spelling if you can't find
spelling.txt. Or better yet, follow the links if you can.


Thanks,
Jani.
