[PATCH v3 3/4] checkpatch: allow Closes tags with links

As a follow-up of a previous patch modifying the documentation to
allow using the "Closes:" tag, checkpatch.pl is updated accordingly.

checkpatch.pl now no longer complain when the "Closes:" tag is used by
itself or after the "Reported-by:" tag.

Fixes: 76f381bb77a0 ("checkpatch: warn when unknown tags are used for links")
Fixes: d7f1d71e5ef6 ("checkpatch: warn when Reported-by: is not followed by Link:")
Closes: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/373

 - split into 2 patches: the previous one adds a list with all the
   "link" tags. This one only allows the "Closes" tag. (Joe Perches)
 - "Closes" is no longer printed between parenthesis. (Thorsten
