LE-3204 This github action checks the PR commits for references to upstream linux commits (lines starting with "commit <hash>") and does two things: 1. Checks that this hash exists in the upstream linux kernel history 2. Checks if there are any Fixes: references for the referenced commit in the upstream linux kernel history If either of those are found to be true a comment is added to the PR with the pertinent information. The logic for the check is provided by the check_upstream_commits.py script from kernel-src-tree-tools

This github action checks the PR commits for references to upstream linux commits (lines starting with "commit ") and does two things:

If either of those are found to be true a comment is added to the PR with the pertinent information.
The logic for the check is provided by the check_upstream_commits.py script from kernel-src-tree-tools
