Subject: Checkpatch: Add another old address for the FSF

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@...rosoft.com>

We still have a lot of old addresses for the FSF in the kernel.

willy@...ry:~/kernel/idr$ git grep '675 Mass' |wc -l
1502
willy@...ry:~/kernel/idr$ git grep '59 Temple' |wc -l
2825
willy@...ry:~/kernel/idr$ git grep '51 Franklin' |wc -l
2020

Let's discourage adding the oldest one too.
