[PATCH] checkpatch: Only flag FSF address, not gnu.org URL

[Alexander Duyck]

This change restricts the check for the for the FSF address in the GPL
copyright statement so that it only flags the address, not the references to
the gnu.org/licenses URL which appear in numerous drivers.

So for example this statement will still return an error:
  You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
  along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
  Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.

However, this statement will not return an error after this patch:
  You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
  along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
