    cpupower: remove LIC_FILES_CHKSUM
    
    cpupower is a 'special' recipe since it does "inherit kernelsrc" ,
    which essentially means that it doesn't have its own sources, but
    reuse the kernel source tree, from virtual/kernel recipe. As such,
    checking the license file in cpupower recipe does not seem relevant,
    since it does not fetch anything (kernelsrc has "deltask do_fetch")
    and the fetching is deferred to the virtual/kernel recipe.
    
    so we are basically checking the COPYING file twice. If there was any
    license issue, it would have been caught by virtual/kernel recipe
    already.
    
    Hence we remove LIC_FILES_CHKSUM like it is done for perf recipe in
    OE-core in meta/recipes-kernel/perf/perf.bb.
    
    It has the nice side effect that BSP layers can use different kernel
    versions without worrying about any LICENSE checksum changes in
    between kernel versions.
