add FILE_PATH_CHANGES to ignore list of patch review

Add FILE_PATH_CHANGES to the list of warnings, that is very specific to
Linux Kernel, which is triggered when a file is added, moved, or deleted
to the source tree. Let's ignore it and this patch also removes an extra
new line in the .checkpatch.conf.
