driver core: Remove redundant license text

Now that the SPDX tag is in all driver core files, that identifies the
license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text
wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.

This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.

No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

driver core: add SPDX identifiers to all driver core files

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

We also rename hypervisor_subsys to hypervisor_kset to catch all users

kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.
