checkpatch: speed up checking for filenames in sections marked obsolete

JoePerches · torvalds · commit 0616efa45af4 · 2016-10-11T15:06:30.000-07:00
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.
