Use of "Generated-by:" triggers checkpatch.pl warning + error:

WARNING: Non-standard signature: Generated-by:
#8: 
Generated-by: scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/kzalloc-simple.cocci

ERROR: Unrecognized email address: 'scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/kzalloc-simple.cocci'
#8: 
Generated-by: scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/kzalloc-simple.cocci

I've changed it to "Generate-by" to silence checkpatch.pl.
