bpf, scripts: Correct GPL license name

The bpf_doc script refers to the GPL as the "GNU Privacy License".

Public License, under which the Linux kernel is released, as, to the
best of my knowledge, there is no license named "GNU Privacy License".
This patch corrects the license name in the script accordingly.
