debian/copyright: Move explanation of indirect linking of perf to OpenSSL 

This was originally added to debian/copyright in src:linux-2.6, which
was the source for linux-tools binary packages.  Obviously it belongs
in src:linux-tools now.

Comment:
The 'perf' tool is dynamically linked with the Python interpreter,
which is itself dynamically linked with OpenSSL, which is not
GPL-compatible. However, since perf itself does not link with or use
OpenSSL, we believe that this indirect linking does not require
additional permissions beyond the GPL.
