checkpatch: don't emit unified-diff error for rename-only patches
I generated a patch with `git format-patch` which checkpatch thinks is invalid: $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl lpc-dt/0006-mfd-dt-Move-syscon-bindings-to-syscon-subdirectory.patch WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating? Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/{ => syscon}/aspeed-scu.txt | 0 ERROR: Does not appear to be a unified-diff format patch total: 1 errors, 1 warnings, 0 lines checked NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace. lpc-dt/0006-mfd-dt-Move-syscon-bindings-to-syscon-subdirectory.patch has style problems, please review. NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS. The patch in question was all renames with no edits, giving 100% similarity and thus no diff markers. Set '$is_patch = 1;' in the add/remove/rename detection to avoid generating spurious warnings.
