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.

ba94f3088b unix: add ioctl to open a unix socket file with O_PATH
This ioctl opens a file to which a socket is bound and
returns a file descriptor. The caller has to have CAP_NET_ADMIN
in the socket network namespace.

Currently it is impossible to get a path and a mount point
for a socket file. socket_diag reports address, device ID and inode
number for unix sockets. An address can contain a relative path or
a file may be moved somewhere. And these properties say nothing about
a mount namespace and a mount point of a socket file.

With the introduced ioctl, we can get a path by reading
/proc/self/fd/X and get mnt_id from /proc/self/fdinfo/X.

In CRIU we are going to use this ioctl to dump and restore unix socket.

Here is an example how it can be used:

$ strace -e socket,bind,ioctl ./test /tmp/test_sock
socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 3
bind(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="test_sock"}, 11) = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCUNIXFILE, 0)           = 4
^Z

$ ss -a | grep test_sock
u_str  LISTEN     0      1      test_sock 17798                 * 0

$ ls -l /proc/760/fd/{3,4}
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb  1 09:41 3 -> 'socket:[17798]'
l--------- 1 root root 64 Feb  1 09:41 4 -> /tmp/test_sock

$ cat /proc/760/fdinfo/4
pos:	0
flags:	012000000
mnt_id:	40

$ cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep "^40\s"
40 19 0:37 / /tmp rw shared:23 - tmpfs tmpfs rw
