m68k: Rework BI_VIRT_RNG_SEED as BI_RNG_SEED

This is useful on !virt platforms for kexec, so change things from
BI_VIRT_RNG_SEED to be BI_RNG_SEED, and simply remove BI_VIRT_RNG_SEED
because it only ever lasted one release, and nothing is broken by not
having it. At the same time, keep a comment noting that it's been
removed, so that ID isn't reused. In addition, we previously documented
2-byte alignment, but 4-byte alignment is actually necessary, so update
that comment.

treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].

This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch)

@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@

struct S {
...
T1 member;
T2 array[
- 0
];
};

-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes
to prevent issues like these in the short future:

../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0,
but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source]
strcpy(de3->name, ".");
^

Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If
this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

# 81d33350 25-Aug-2016 Greg Ungerer <gerg@linux-m68k.org>

m68k: set appropriate machine type for m5411x SoC platforms

Create a new machine type for platforms based around the ColdFire 5441x
SoC family. Set that machine type on startup when building for this
platform type.

Currently the ColdFire head.S hard codes a M54xx machine type at startup -
since that is the only platform type currently supported with MMU enabled.
The m5441x has an MMU and this change forms part of the support required
to run it with the MMU enabled.

m68k/UAPI: Move generic definitions to <asm/bootinfo.h>

Move generic definitions used by bootstraps to uapi/asm/bootinfo.h:
- Machine types,
- CPU, FPU, and MMU types,
- struct mem_info.

Keep a copy of struct mem_info for in-kernel use, and rename it to struct
m68k_mem_info, as the exported one will be modified later.
