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.

tty: vt, remove reduntant check ... MAX_NR_CONSOLES and MAX_NR_USER_CONSOLES are both 63 since they were introduced in 1.1.54. And since vc_allocate does: if (currcons >= MAX_NR_CONSOLES) return -ENXIO; if (!vc_cons[currcons].d) { if (currcons >= MAX_NR_USER_CONSOLES && !capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE)) return -EPERM; } the second check is pointless. Remove both the check and the macro MAX_NR_USER_CONSOLES.

vt: Remove vt_get_kmsg_redirect() from uapi header ... vt_get_kmsg_redirect() only has meaning to the console driver as an alias for calling vt_kmsg_redirect().
