Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] scripts/deprecated_terms: Recommend denylist/allowlist instead of blacklist/whitelist

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@...zon.de>

This commit recommends the patches to replace 'blacklist' and
'whitelist' with the 'denylist' and 'allowlist', because the new
suggestions are incontrovertible, doesn't make people hurt, and more
self-explanatory.
