Unlike manual splitting, 'splitlines' correctly handles different
line endings. Without this change script fails to check files with
'\r\n' endings treating the whole patch as a header.

Thanks, I applied this to master.

I don't think OVS legitimately has any text files that contain carriage
returns, so it might be worth warning about them.

'git am' by default strips '\r' symbols. OTOH, some mail clients adds them.
There might be a lot of false positives if we'll add this kind of check
to checkpatch.
