Introduce a new external lockspace flag DLM_LSFL_SOFTIRQ_SAFE. A
lockspace user will set this flag if it can handle dlm running the
callback functions from softirq context. When not set, dlm will
continue to run callback functions from the dlm_callback workqueue.
The new lockspace flag cannot be used for user space lockspaces, so
a uapi placeholder definition is used for the new flag value.

This patch removes code parts which was declared deprecated by
commit 6b0afc0cc3e9 ("fs: dlm: don't use deprecated timeout features by
default"). This contains the following dlm functionality:
- start a cancel of a dlm request did not complete after certain timeout:
The current way how dlm cancellation works and interfering with other
dlm requests triggered by the user can end in an overlapping and
returning in -EBUSY. The most user don't handle this case and are
unaware that DLM can return such errno in such situation. Due the
timeout the user are mostly unaware when this happens.
- start a netlink warning messages for user space if dlm requests did
not complete after certain timeout:
This feature was never being built in the only known dlm user space side.
As we are to remove the timeout cancellation feature we can directly
remove this feature as well.
There might be the possibility to bring the timeout cancellation feature
back. However the current way of handling the -EBUSY case which is only
a software limitation and not a hardware limitation should be changed.
We minimize the current code base in DLM cancellation feature to not have
to deal with those existing features while solving the DLM cancellation
feature in general.
UAPI define DLM_LSFL_TIMEWARN is commented as deprecated and reserved
value. We should avoid at first to give it a new meaning but let
possible users still compile by keeping this define. In far future we
can give this flag a new meaning. The same for the DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT lock
request flag.

The DLM_LSFL_FS flag is set in lockspaces created directly
for a kernel user, as opposed to those lockspaces created
for user space applications. The user space libdlm allowed
this flag to be set for lockspaces created from user space,
but then used by a kernel user. No kernel user has ever
used this method, so remove the ability to do it.

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
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".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.
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.
