Subject: [PATCH - Linus please apply] dmaengine: idxd: Change license on idxd.h to LGPL

This file was given GPL-2.0 license. But LGPL-2.1 makes more sense
as it needs to be used by libraries outside of the kernel source tree.

Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@...el.com>

All content of this file was contributed by Intel employees, so
should be no issues in swapping the license.
