[PATCH] cve-check: Add allowlist that is same function of whitelist.

From: ito-yuichi@fujitsu.com <hidden>
Date: 2021-06-23 08:56:44
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The Linux team plan to removed references to racially-charged jargon from
their code for more neutral and inclusive language.
So replace use of "whitelist" with "allowlist" in cve-check.

First, we add CVE_CHECK_ALLOWLIST and it is considered patched as well as
CVE_CHECK_WHITELIST.
We plan to replace about other word later and eventualy, replace all
"whitelist" to "allowlist".
