checkpatch: improve network block comment style checking

Some comment styles in net and drivers/net are flagged inappropriately.

Avoid proclaiming inline comments like:
int a = b; /* some comment */
and block comments like:
/*********************
 * some comment
 ********************/
are defective.

Tested with
$ cat drivers/net/t.c
/* foo */

/*
 * foo
 */

/* foo
 */

/* foo
 * bar */

/****************************
 * some long block comment
 ***************************/

struct foo {
int bar; /* another test */
};
