[PATCH] checkpatch: check Signed-off-by: lines for patches coming from stdin

[Javi Merino]

Commit 34d8815f9512 ("checkpatch: add --showfile to allow input via pipe
to show filenames") disabled the ability to check for Signed-off-by
lines in patches that are fed to scripts/checkpatch.pl from stdin.  This
makes things like:

git rebase --interactive --exec 'git format-patch --stdout -1 | scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict -'

not complain about patches without a Signed-off-by.

While commit 34d8815f9512 ("checkpatch: add --showfile to allow input
via pipe to show filenames") is meant to work with the output of git
diff, this should be achieved by explicitly passing --no-signoff
to checkpatch.pl:

git diff | ./scripts/checkpatch --no-signoff -
