virt: vbox: Add a few new vmmdev request types to the userspace whitelist

Upstream VirtualBox has defined and is using a few new request types for
vmmdev requests passed through /dev/vboxguest to the hypervisor.

Add the defines for these to vbox_vmmdev_types.h and add add them to the
whitelists of vmmdev requests which userspace is allowed to make.

treewide: add "WITH Linux-syscall-note" to SPDX tag of uapi headers

UAPI headers licensed under GPL are supposed to have exception
"WITH Linux-syscall-note" so that they can be included into non-GPL
user space application code.

The exception note is missing in some UAPI headers.

Some of them slipped in by the treewide conversion commit b24413180f56
("License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with
no license"). Just run:

$ git show --oneline b24413180f56 -- arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/

I believe they are not intentional, and should be fixed too.

This patch was generated by the following script:

git grep -l --not -e Linux-syscall-note --and -e SPDX-License-Identifier \
-- :arch/*/include/uapi/asm/*.h :include/uapi/ :^*/Kbuild |
while read file
do
sed -i -e '/[[:space:]]OR[[:space:]]/s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/(\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note)/g' \
-e '/[[:space:]]or[[:space:]]/s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/(\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note)/g' \
-e '/[[:space:]]OR[[:space:]]/!{/[[:space:]]or[[:space:]]/!s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note/g}' $file
done

After this patch is applied, there are 5 UAPI headers that do not contain
"WITH Linux-syscall-note". They are kept untouched since this exception
applies only to GPL variants.

$ git grep --not -e Linux-syscall-note --and -e SPDX-License-Identifier \
-- :arch/*/include/uapi/asm/*.h :include/uapi/ :^*/Kbuild

virt: vbox: Implement passing requestor info to the host for VirtualBox 6.0.x

VirtualBox 6.0.x has a new feature where the guest kernel driver passes
info about the origin of the request (e.g. userspace or kernelspace) to
the hypervisor.

If we do not pass this information then when running the 6.0.x userspace
guest-additions tools on a 6.0.x host, some requests will get denied
with a VERR_VERSION_MISMATCH error, breaking vboxservice.service and
the mounting of shared folders marked to be auto-mounted.

This commit implements passing the requestor info to the host, fixing this.

virt: Add vboxguest driver for Virtual Box Guest integration UAPI

This commit adds the headers describing the ioctl API for the
/dev/vboxguest device used by the Virtual Box Guest Additions
in Virtual Box virtual machines.

The driver providing the /dev/vboxguest device will allow Virtual Box
Guest Additions features such as copy-and-paste, seamless mode and
OpenGL pass-through.
