[PATCH] spdxcheck: Work with current HEAD LICENSES/ directory

From: Joe Perches
Date: Tue Jun 05 2018 - 12:12:44 EST


Depending on how old your -next tree is, it may
not have a master that has the LICENSES directory.

Change the lookup to HEAD and find whatever
LICENSE directory files are used in that branch.

Miscellanea:

o Remove the checkpatch test as it will have its own
SPDX license identifier.
