bpf: add comments to BPF ld/ldx sizes

Doc BPF ld/ldx size defines as comments in code, as it makes in
faster to lookup in a programming/review setting, than looking up
the sizes in Documentation/networking/filter.txt.

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.

net: filter: move common defines into bpf_common.h

userspace programs that use eBPF instruction macros need to include two files:
uapi/linux/filter.h and uapi/linux/bpf.h
Move common macro definitions that are shared between classic BPF and eBPF
into uapi/linux/bpf_common.h, so that user app can include only one bpf.h file
