If checkpatch is run with --ignore=C99_COMMENT_TOLERANCE it
will warn on almost every .c file because linux kernel style
requires use of a C99 comment // SPDX-License-Identifier:

checkpatch does not need to do any additional per-line checking
after checking the SPDX-License-Identifier line.

This allows the C99 comment style for SPDK-License-Identifier
even if C99_COMMENT_TOLERANCE is specified by an --ignore option.
