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.

netfilter: introduce l2tp match extension

Introduce an xtables add-on for matching L2TP packets. Supports L2TPv2
and L2TPv3 over IPv4 and IPv6. As well as filtering on L2TP tunnel-id
and session-id, the filtering decision can also include the L2TP
packet type (control or data), protocol version (2 or 3) and
encapsulation type (UDP or IP).

The most common use for this will likely be to filter L2TP data
packets of individual L2TP tunnels or sessions. While a u32 match can
be used, the L2TP protocol headers are such that field offsets differ
depending on bits set in the header, making rules for matching generic
L2TP connections cumbersome. This match extension takes care of all
that.
