checkpatch: fix ignoring cover-letter logic
Currently running checkpatch on a directory with a cover-letter.patch
file reports the following error:
-----------------------------------------
patches/smp-v2/v2-0000-cover-letter.patch
-----------------------------------------
ERROR: Does not appear to be a unified-diff format patch
The logic to suppress the unified-diff check for cover letters is there
but is checking $file instead of $filename. Fix the variable to use the
correct one.
