Commit 06330fc40e3f ("checkpatch: Avoid NOT_UNIFIED_DIFF
errors on cover-letter.patch files") added an exception to bypass
the unified-diff check for cover letters. The patch evaluates the
cover letter regex against $file. Instead it should use $filename.
This patch corrects the variable.

I originally sent this out in late September but it appears to
have been missed. As a fix to avoid a false positive warning I'd
like to see it make it to 'next'.
