59c11a7a9a LICENSES: add CC0-1.0 license text
Commit cbbd847d10 ("tools/x86/kcpuid: Introduce a complete cpuid
bitfields CSV file") turns the tools/arch/x86/kcpuid/cpuid.csv to be an
auto-generated file from an input file maintained at x86-cpuid.org project.
The x86-cpuid.org project clearly states that the auto-generated file is to
be licensed with CC0-1.0 (see Link below). So, the SPDX-License-Identifier
CC0-1.0 in the file is correct as intended.

The spdxcheck.py script reports that tools/arch/x86/kcpuid/cpuid.csv uses
an Invalid License ID: CC0-1.0, though, as the LICENSES directory in the
kernel tree does not contain a file with license information for CC0-1.0.

Add a suitable CC0-1.0 file with the license text into LICENSES/deprecated
to make spdxcheck.py happy.

The directory deprecated is the best fit, by exclusion of the
alternatives. CC0-1.0 should not be considered among the preferred licenses
in the kernel, nor is it a license exception case or intended for
dual-licensing some copyrighted material. So, deprecated is the best fit
here, even if the license and its use is fine and it does not suggest to
actually deprecate use of this license.

The license text for the CC0-1.0 file was obtained from the spdx
license-list-data git repository (see Link below).

6bb951f193 LICENSES/deprecated: add Zlib license text
The new files contributed to zlib have Zlib SPDX license identifier. Since
there was no Zlib license text in LICENSES, scripts/spdxcheck.py
reported the following errors:
  lib/zlib_dfltcc/dfltcc.c: 1:28 Invalid License ID: Zlib
  lib/zlib_dfltcc/dfltcc.h: 1:28 Invalid License ID: Zlib
  lib/zlib_dfltcc/dfltcc_deflate.c: 1:28 Invalid License ID: Zlib
  lib/zlib_dfltcc/dfltcc_inflate.c: 1:28 Invalid License ID: Zlib
  lib/zlib_dfltcc/dfltcc_util.h: 1:28 Invalid License ID: Zlib

The patch adds Zlib SPDX license to LICENSES/deprecated, thus
resolving the issues reported by spdxcheck.

509edd95ed LICENSE: add GFDL deprecated licenses
There are some files under Documentation which uses
deprecated versions of GNU Free Documentation License, on
both versions 1.1 and 1.2.

On all cases, the license is with no Invariant Sections,
Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts.

Add the text file for them, as we'll start using SPDX
for those.
