[PATCH] checkpatch: Add the backport commit format check

[korantwork]

From: Xinghui Li <korantli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The backport commit has been  used to be misreported as Error
by checkpatch.pl like this:

'ERROR: Please use git commit description style
'commit <12+ chars of sha1> ("<title line>")' - ie:......
commit <sha1> upstream.

total: 1 errors, 0 warnings, 8 lines checked
'
So, add the backport commit format check to avoid the above mistake.
