checkpatch: warn when networking block comment lines don't start with *
Some block comments in network are written as: /* block comment line 1 block comment line 2 */ Emit a warning on the "block comment line 2" because it should be /* block comment line 1 * block comment line 2 */ This warning is only emitted on the second line of a block comment.
