[PATCH v2 5/5] checkpatch: ignore a file named b

From: Robert Elliott
Date: Tue Nov 22 2022 - 20:14:11 EST


If a file named "b" happens to exist, checkpatch complains
as it parses the patch lines specifying the filenames.

WARNING: patch prefix 'b' exists, appears to be a -p0 patch

Squelch that by only complaining if that is a directory,
not a regular file, and print the whole path causing concern.
WARNING: patch prefix './b' exists, appears to be a -p0 patch
