I just did a spelling mistake of uninitialized and wrote that as
unintialized.  Fortunately I noticed it in my final review.

779a6ce877 scripts/spelling.txt: add misspelled words for check
misspelled words for check:-
 chcek
 chck
 cehck

I myself did these spell mistakes in changelog for patches, Thus
suggesting to add in spelling.txt, so that checkpatch.pl warns it
earlier.  References:-

./arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64e.S:456: . . . make sure you chcek
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/25/289
./arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:1368: * No need to cehck in that case

66b47b4a9d checkpatch: look for common misspellings
Check for misspellings, based on Debian's lintian list.  Several false
positives were removed, and several additional words added that were
common in the kernel:

	backword backwords
	invalide valide
	recieves
	singed unsinged

While going back and fixing existing spelling mistakes isn't a high
priority, it'd be nice to try to catch them before they hit the tree.

In the 13830 commits between 3.15 and 3.16, the script would have noticed
560 spelling mistakes. The top 25 are shown here:

Thanks to Joe Perches for rewrites, suggestions, additional misspelling
entries, and testing.
