[PATCH] checkpatch: Speed up checking for filenames in sections marked obsolete

From: Joe Perches
Date: Wed Aug 31 2016 - 18:58:51 EST


Adding -f to the get_maintainer.pl invocation means git isn't invoked
by get_maintainer.pl for known filenames.

This reduces the overall time to run checkpatch.
