Fix a user API regression introduced with commit f76edd8f7c ("tty:
cyclades, remove this orphan"), which removed a part of the API and
caused compilation errors for user programs using said part, such as
GCC 9 in its libsanitizer component[1]:
.../libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_platform_limits_posix.cc:160:10: fatal error: linux/cyclades.h: No such file or directory
160 | #include <linux/cyclades.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[4]: *** [Makefile:664: sanitizer_platform_limits_posix.lo] Error 1
As the absolute minimum required bring `struct cyclades_monitor' and
ioctl numbers back then so as to make the library build again. Add a
preprocessor warning as to the obsolescence of the features provided.

The Cyclades driver was orphaned by commit d459883e6c (MAINTAINERS:
remove two dead e-mail) 13 years ago. Noone stepped up to take care of
them and to fix all the issues the driver has.
On the top of that, there is no way to obtain the firmware for Z cards
from the vendor as cyclades.com ceased to exist.
So it's time to drop the driver with all its traces.

This is mainly a patch for clarification, and to let us remove
the time_t definition from the kernel to prevent new users from
creeping in that might not be y2038-safe.
All remaining uses of 'time_t' or '__kernel_time_t' are part of
the user API that cannot be changed by that either have a
replacement or that do not suffer from the y2038 overflow.

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.
