checkpatch: Use default encoding from email library.
There are three paths for running the core checkpatch path: From a file,
from stdin, or reading from git output. Currently, the file version of
this calls the "email" library's decode routine which translates the
stream into a bytes array, which we later call decode() to turn it back
into a regular string. This works on python2 and python3, but the other
paths don't work in python3 due to the following error:
$ utilities/checkpatch.py -1
== Checking HEAD~0 ==
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "utilities/checkpatch.py", line 491, in <module>
if ovs_checkpatch_parse(patch, revision):
File "utilities/checkpatch.py", line 324, in ovs_checkpatch_parse
for line in text.decode().split('\n'):
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
Rather than performing this extra encode/decode, strip these out from
this path so that the stdin and git variants of checkpatch can work in
python3.
