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

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

CC usr/include/asm/msgbuf.h.s
In file included from usr/include/asm/msgbuf.h:6:0,
from <command-line>:32:
usr/include/asm-generic/msgbuf.h:25:20: error: field `msg_perm' has incomplete type

^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
usr/include/asm-generic/msgbuf.h:42:2: error: unknown type name `__kernel_pid_t'
__kernel_pid_t msg_lrpid; /* last receive pid */
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is just a matter of missing include directive.

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

y2038: ipc: remove __kernel_time_t reference from headers

There are two structures based on time_t that conflict between libc and
kernel: timeval and timespec. Both are now renamed to __kernel_old_timeval
and __kernel_old_timespec.

For time_t, the old typedef is still __kernel_time_t. There is nothing
wrong with that name, but it would be nice to not use that going forward
as this type is used almost only in deprecated interfaces because of
the y2038 overflow.

In the IPC headers (msgbuf.h, sembuf.h, shmbuf.h), __kernel_time_t is only
used for the 64-bit variants, which are not deprecated.

Change these to a plain 'long', which is the same type as __kernel_time_t
on all 64-bit architectures anyway, to reduce the number of users of the
old type.

y2038: asm-generic: Extend sysvipc data structures

Most architectures now use the asm-generic copy of the sysvipc data
structures (msqid64_ds, semid64_ds, shmid64_ds), which use 32-bit
__kernel_time_t on 32-bit architectures but have padding behind them to
allow extending the type to 64-bit.

Unfortunately, that fails on all big-endian architectures, which have the
padding on the wrong side. As so many of them get it wrong, we decided to
not bother even trying to fix it up when we introduced the asm-generic
copy. Instead we always use the padding word now to provide the upper
32 bits of the seconds value, regardless of the endianess.

A libc implementation on a typical big-endian system can deal with
this by providing its own copy of the structure definition to user
space, and swapping the two 32-bit words before returning from the
semctl/shmctl/msgctl system calls.

Note that msqid64_ds and shmid64_ds were broken on x32 since commit
f4b4aae18288 ("x86/headers/uapi: Fix __BITS_PER_LONG value for x32
builds"). I have sent a separate fix for that, but as we no longer
have to worry about x32 here, I no longer worry about x32 here and
use 'unsigned long' instead of __kernel_ulong_t.

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.

uapi: Use __kernel_ulong_t in struct msqid64_ds

Both x32 and x86-64 use the same struct msqid64_ds for system calls.
But x32 long is 32-bit. This patch replaces unsigned long with
__kernel_ulong_t in struct msqid64_ds.
