checkpatch: allow commit descriptions on separate line from commit id
The general form for commit id and description is 'Commit <12+hexdigits> ("commit description/subject line")' but commit logs often have relatively long commit ids and the commit description emds on the next line like: Some explanation as to why commit <12+hexdigits> ("commit foo description/subject line") is improved. Allow this form.
