[PATCH v2] checkpatch: Improve CVS revision marker check

From: Kari Argillander
Date: Wed Oct 27 2021 - 06:56:55 EST


This check gives false alarms at least in fs/ntfs3/ as there $LogFile is
used quite lot because it is name of file which logs NTFS metadata. This
improves check so it does not false alarm so easily.
