[PATCH v2] checkpatch: fix uninitialized var when run with --no-tree

[PATCH v2] checkpatch: fix uninitialized var when run with --no-tree

[Brian Norris]

If checkpatch.pl gets copied out of the tree, --no-tree shouldn't start
complaining:

  Use of uninitialized value $root in concatenation (.) or string at
  /path/to/checkpatch.pl line 764.

Let's just give the safe answer instead -- don't warn about "obsolete"
files.

Fixes: 85b0ee18bbf8 ("checkpatch: see if modified files are marked obsolete in MAINTAINERS")
