checkpatch is advisory, not mandatory.

While we usually fix its errors and warnings on current patches,
checkpatch changes over time and code it once accepted sometimes no
longer passes. For that reason we don't accept patches to in-tree
files which now fail checkpatch because there are a huge number of them
and it generates an awful lot of churn which ends up either causing
bugs or interfering with current development.
