[PATCH] checkpatch.pl: add support for checking patch from git repository

[changbin . du]

From: "Du, Changbin" <changbin.du@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch add "-g, --git" option that tread FILE as git commits
expression. You can specify the git commit hash ID expressions,
then these commits from your git repository will be checked.

This feature allows you can check your patches but no need to
generate temporary patch files. The flow git expressions are
supported.
<rev>
<rev>^
<rev>~n
<rev1>..<rev2>
<rev1>...<rev2>
<rev>-n (This is a speical one. For example, 'HEAD-3' means we
need check commits 'HEAD', 'HEAD~1' and HEAD~2'.)

Here is a example output:

changbin@linux$ scripts/checkpatch.pl -g 2a50009-2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commit 4bfd2e6 ("net/mlx4_core: Avoid repeated calls to pci enable/disable")
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 100 lines checked
