[PATCH 02/12] linux-headers: replace FSF postal address with licenses URL

[Sean Wei]

The GPLv2 boiler-plate in asm-arm/kvm.h and asm-powerpc/kvm.h still
contained the obsolete "51 Franklin Street" postal address.

Replace it with the canonical GNU licenses URL recommended by the FSF:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/

This also has to be fixed in the Linux kernel first, otherwise the changes 
will be reverted when someone runs the scripts/update-linux-headers.sh 
script. Sorry, I should have mentioned that in the 
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2974 ticket, but I missed it, 
sorry!
