Tweaks aimed at checkpatch are only useful during the code review stage, so
once that code is accepted upstream, they become wholly irrelevant. A
checkpatch trailer in the permanent commit record serves no purpose, not even
a historical one.

At best, utility trailers like that need to go into the basement of the patch,
not into the commit message.
