Subject: [PATCH] tools/lib: Remove FSF address

Checkpatch in the kernel now complains about having the FSF address
in comments. Other tools such as rpmlint are now starting to do the
same thing. Remove the FSF address to reduce warnings on multiple tools.

For context, I'm updating the packaging for perf in Fedora which
requires a code/output review. This got flagged during that review.

This part of tools doesn't seem to have a clear owner and I don't think
it's kept in sync with the kernel which is why I split this out.  I don't
particularly care which tree it goes through (perf?)
