checkpatch: add new warnings to author signoff checks.
The author signed-off-by checks are currently very vague. Cases like same name or same address are not handled separately. For example, running checkpatch on commit be6577af0cef ("parisc: Add atomic64_set_release() define to avoid CPU soft lockups"), gives: WARNING: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal patch author 'John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>' The signoff line was: "Signed-off-by: Dave Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>" Clearly the author has signed off but with a slightly different version of his name. A more appropriate warning would have been to point out at the name mismatch instead. Previously, the values assumed by $authorsignoff were either 0 or 1 to indicate whether a proper sign off by author is present. Extended the checks to handle four new cases. $authorsignoff values now denote the following: 0: Missing sign off by patch author. 1: Sign off present and identical. 2: Addresses and names match, but comments differ. "James Watson(JW) <james@gmail.com>", "James Watson <james@gmail.com>" 3: Addresses match, but names are different. "James Watson <james@gmail.com>", "James <james@gmail.com>" 4: Names match, but addresses are different. "James Watson <james@watson.com>", "James Watson <james@gmail.com>" 5: Names match, addresses excluding subaddress details (RFC 5233) match. "James Watson <james@gmail.com>", "James Watson <james+a@gmail.com>" Also introduced a new message type FROM_SIGN_OFF_MISMATCH for cases 2, 3, 4 and 5.
