[PATCH] checkpatch: use python3 to find codespell dictionary

[Kory Maincent]

From: Sagar Patel <sagarmp at cs.unc.edu>

Import Linux patch to locate codespell dictionary:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220309180048.147672-1-sagarmp@cs.unc.edu/

codespell requires Python 3.6 or above, but on some systems, the python
executable is a Python 2.7 interpreter.  In this case, searching for the
dictionary fails, subsequently making codespell fail:

  No codespell typos will be found - file '/usr/share/codespell/dictionary.txt': No such file or directory

So, use python3 to remove ambiguity.

In addition, when searching for dictionary.txt, do not check if the
codespell executable exists since,

 - checkpatch.pl only uses dictionary.txt, not the codespell
   executable.

 - codespell can be installed via a Python package manager, in which
   case the codespell executable may not be present in a typical $PATH,
   but a dictionary does exist.
