Hi,

This patch gives me the following checkpatch warning:

ERROR: Please use git commit description style 'commit <12+ chars of sha1> ("<title line>")' - ie: 'commit e2cfc91120fa ("mm/page_owner: set correct gfp_mask on page_owner")'
#12: 
e2cfc91120fa ("mm/page_owner: set correct gfp_mask on page_owner").

Some fuzzing showed that it's complaining about the missing word "commit"
which is however on the end of the previous line. Can that be fixed please?
I can't speak perl myself.

Thanks,
Vlastimil
