    checkpatch: check networking specific block comment style

We are seeing false positive warnings.  Here is an example of the
code the would generate a false warning:

#define foo	0x0000 /* foo comment */

checkpatch.pl generates a warnings that the */ should be on a separate
line, which in this case is incorrect.

Sorry 'bout that.  I believe it's fixed by:

Yes, I confirm that the patch in the link you provided solves the issue
I was seeing.  Thanks, has the patch been accepted yet?  I see it is not
in Dave's NET tree as of yet.
