checkpatch: prefer MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") over MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2")

There is no effective difference.

Given the large number of uses of "GPL v2", emit this message only for
patches as a trivial treeside sed could be done one day.

Ref: commit bf7fbeeae6db ("module: Cure the MODULE_LICENSE "GPL" vs. "GPL v2" bogosity")
