[patch v3] checkpatch: Signature format verification

From: anish
Date: Mon May 23 2011 - 11:21:49 EST


From: anish kumar <anish198519851985@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch generates warning when there is no space between
the patch submitter and successive mail-id.

V2 Modification:Suggested by Joe Perches(joe@xxxxxxxxxxx) that
we can add this check for all signature types so added that
change and added logic to remove the inefficent looping so
that it can come out as soon as signature type is matched.

V3 Modification:Moved the variable from global to local scope.
