    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.

I apologize for not digging into the checkpatch.pl code to provide a
fix, I figure Joe (or anyone else with great checkpatch kung fu) can
figure out the issue and fix it faster than I could. :-)

Cheers,
Jeff
