SPDX change for 7.1-rc1

Here is a single SPDX-like change for 7.1-rc1. It explicitly allows the
use of SPDX-FileCopyrightText which has been used already in many files.
At the same time, update checkpatch to catch any "non allowed" spdx
identifiers as we don't want to go overboard here.

This has been in linux-next for a long time with no reported problems.
