x86, crypto: Restore MODULE_LICENSE() to glue_helper.c so it loads

In commit:

  eb008eb6f8b6 ("x86: Audit and remove any remaining unnecessary uses of module.h")

... we looked for instances of module.h that were not supporting anything
more than exported symbols.

To facilitate the exchange of module.h to the much smaller export.h
we occasionally remove tags like MODULE_AUTHOR() etc. which in the case
of built in files, are no-ops and hence that is fine, assuming the
info is already in the comments at the top of the file..

However the error here is that I overlooked that this file was used
not as a driver, but as a library of functions, and hence has no
explicit modular linkage functions or similar, making it _appear_
non-modular.  We can see that in retrospect with:

  arch/x86/crypto/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_CRYPTO_GLUE_HELPER_X86) += glue_helper.o

  crypto/Kconfig:config CRYPTO_GLUE_HELPER_X86
  crypto/Kconfig: tristate

Since we removed what was an active MODULE_LICENSE(), the module failed
to load and then automated testing showed the missing glue helpers as:

  glue_helper: Unknown symbol blkcipher_walk_done (err 0)
  glue_helper: Unknown symbol blkcipher_walk_virt (err 0)
  glue_helper: Unknown symbol kernel_fpu_end (err 0)
  glue_helper: Unknown symbol kernel_fpu_begin (err 0)
  glue_helper: Unknown symbol blkcipher_walk_virt_block (err 0)

So we do a partial revert of that change to just this one file, and
watch for similar MODULE_LICENSE() only cases in future audits.
