    COPYING: Move COPYING-4.18.0 -> COPYING file
    
    RHEL 8 in kernel spec does rename COPYING -> COPYING-4.18.0.
    i do not know the reason for that.
    
    May be the following RHEL8 patch is related (do not have its content):
    [rpmspec] fix conflicts with COPYING file while installing newer 4.17
              kernel ("Herton R. Krzesinski") [1579563]
    
    "COPYING" file must exist in the tree, checkpatch.pl needs it,
    it refuses to work without "COPYING" file => rename the file back.
    
    Note: i've updated my rebase scripts so next this patch won't be
    necessary after next rebase on new RHEL8 kernel.
