arch: ipcbuf.h: make uapi asm/ipcbuf.h self-contained

Userspace cannot compile <asm/ipcbuf.h> due to some missing type
definitions. For example, building it for x86 fails as follows:

CC usr/include/asm/ipcbuf.h.s
In file included from usr/include/asm/ipcbuf.h:1:0,
from <command-line>:32:

^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is just a matter of missing include directive.

Include <linux/posix_types.h> to make it self-contained, and add it to
the compile-test coverage.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

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".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

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.

# 071ed245 27-Dec-2013 H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com>

uapi, asm-generic: Use __kernel_ulong_t in uapi struct ipc64_perm

x32 IPC system call is the same as x86-64 IPC system call, which uses
64-bit integer for unsigned long in struct ipc64_perm. But x32 long is
32 bit. This patch replaces unsigned long in uapi struct ipc64_perm with
__kernel_ulong_t.
