44ab0a3ee2 sh: Remove CONFIG_VSYSCALL reference from UAPI
AT_SYSINFO_EHDR defines the auxvector index representing the vDSO
entrypoint. Its value or presence does not depend on whether a vDSO
is actually provided by the kernel.

The definition of AT_SYSINFO_EHDR was gated between CONFIG_VSYSCALL to
avoid a default gate VMA to be created. However that default gate VMA
was removed entirely in commit a6c19dfe39
("arm64,ia64,ppc,s390,sh,tile,um,x86,mm: remove default gate area").

Remove the now unnecessary conditional.

6f52b16c5b 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.
