[BUG] scripts/checkpatch.pl: incorrect parsing of commit message

From: Heinrich Schuchardt
Date: Mon May 30 2022 - 11:28:26 EST


The following text from a commit message

"Building on RISC-V results in an error

cc: error: ‘-march=native’: ISA string must begin with rv32 or rv64"

results in a false positive in scripts/checkpatch.pl:

ERROR: Unrecognized email address:
'error: ‘-march=native’: ISA string must begin with rv32 or rv64"'

If a line does not start in column 1 and does not contain an email
address, it is obviously not a Cc: tag and checkpatch.pl should not
indicate an error.
