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.
