[PATCH] devtools: fix checkpatches subject retrieval from stdin

[Olivier Matz]

When passing the patch to checkpatches.sh through stdin, the subject is
retrieved by reading the input until a "Subject:" entry is found. The
rest of the input is piped to checkpatch.pl.

Since the "From:" line is before the "Subject:" line, it won't be sent to
checkpatch.pl, which won't be able to get the author of the commit.
The following error will appear:

> ERROR:NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal patch author ''

Do the subject lookup on the temporary file instead of stdin, and
send the whole lines to checkpatch.pl.

The problem is visible since the introduction of this check in linux
checkpatch.pl in version 4.19 (see link below).
