Subject: [PATCH] net: usb: hso.c: remove unneeded DRIVER_LICENSE #define

There is no need to #define the license of the driver, just put it in
the MODULE_LICENSE() line directly as a text string.

This allows tools that check that the module license matches the source
code license to work properly, as there is no need to unwind the
unneeded dereference.
