There are a number of things at play here:

- Our tooling checks for certain things, such as author/signed-off-by
  match, after applying the patch.

- You have an entry in the kernel git .mailmap.

- The git log.mailmap config default has changed from false to true.

We apply the patch, and, with the default options, git show will display
a different author than the signed-off-by.

We should use --no-use-mailmap when examining a commit to ensure the
commit is internally consistent, regardless of .mailmap.
