If there is a symbol link in the given patch, like the following one:
$ cat 0001-selftests-bpf-Add-mptcp-pm_nl_ctl-link.patch
'''
# diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/mptcp_pm_nl_ctl.c \

'''
checkpatch.pl reports two inaccurate warnings:
'''
WARNING: Missing or malformed SPDX-License-Identifier tag in line 1
#65: FILE: tools/testing/selftests/bpf/mptcp_pm_nl_ctl.c:1:
+../net/mptcp/pm_nl_ctl.c

#65: FILE: tools/testing/selftests/bpf/mptcp_pm_nl_ctl.c:1:

'''
And three checks if run it with strict option:
'''
CHECK: spaces preferred around that '/' (ctx:VxV)
#65: FILE: tools/testing/selftests/bpf/mptcp_pm_nl_ctl.c:1:
+../net/mptcp/pm_nl_ctl.c

'''
This patch fixes this by adding a new variable $symbol_link in checkpatch
script, set it if the new file mode is 120000. Skip "missing or malformed
SPDX-License-Identifier tag", "adding a line without newline at end of
file" and "spaces preferred around that '/'" checks if this variable is
set.
