[kvm-unit-tests PATCH] scripts/checkpatch.pl: Adjust the top_of_kernel_tree check for kvm-unit-tests

[Thomas Huth]

From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

The copy of checkpatch.pl that we currently have in the kvm-unit-tests
repository refuses to work without the --no-tree switch, since it looks
for some kernel-related files to determine the top directory. Adjust this
list of files for the kvm-unit-tests repository to make it work.
