scripts/checkpatch: Improve the check for authors mangled by the mailing list
There were recently some patches on the list which had their "From:" line mangled like this: From: qemu_oss--- via <qemu-devel@nongnu.org> Since our test in the checkpatch.pl script did not trigger here, the patches finally also ended up in a pull request, with the wrong author set. So let's improve the regular expression to also complain on these new patterns, too.
