Łukasz Stelmach c70735c23b checkpatch: fix false positive on empty block comment lines
To avoid false positives in presence of SPDX-License-Identifier in
networking files it is required to increase the leeway for empty block
comment lines by one line.

For example, checking drivers/net/loopback.c which starts with

    // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later
    /*
     * INET          An implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite for the LINUX

rsults in an unnecessary warning

    WARNING: networking block comments don't use an empty /* line, use /* Comment...
    +/*
    + * INET                An implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite for the LINUX

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
