checkpatch: allow space leading blank lines in email headers
Allow a leading space and otherwise blank link in the email headers as it
can be a line wrapped Spamassassin multiple line string or any other valid
rfc 2822/5322 email header.
The line with space causes checkpatch to erroneously think that it's in
the content body, as opposed to headers and thus flag a mail header as an
unwrapped long comment line.
