checkpatch: remove email address comment from email address comparisons
About 2% of the last 100K commits have email addresses that include an RFC2822 compliant comment like: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> checkpatch currently does a comparison of the complete name and address to the submitted author to determine if the author has signed-off and emits a warning if the exact email names and addresses do not match. Unfortunately, the author email address can be written without the comment like: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Add logic to compare the comment stripped email addresses to avoid this warning.
