Quite some files have been flagged with the new GPL-2.0-only and GPL-2.0-or-later identifiers which replace the original GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0+ identifiers in the SPDX license identifier specification, but the identifiers are not mentioned as valid in the GPL-2.0 license file. Add them to the license file and to the Linux-syscall-note exception to make everything consistent again.

License-Text:

|
|
|
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".
|
|
Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software
|
|
Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (the Linux
|
|
kernel) is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it.
|
|
|
|
Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel
|
|
is concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not
|
|
v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated.
