Subject: [PATCH 0/8] MODULE_LICENSE removals, first tranche

This series, based on current modules-next, is part of a treewide cleanup
suggested by Luis Chamberlain, to remove the LICENSE_MODULE usage from
files/objects that are not tristate.  Due to recent changes to kbuild, these
uses are now problematic.  See the commit logs for more details.

This is a small initial tranche to see if the general approach is valid:
larger tranches can follow if desired and if these patches seem OK.
(In total, there are 123 patches.)


The series at a whole can be found here:
  https://github.com/nickalcock/linux module-license

The kallsyms series is at https://github.com/nickalcock/linux kallsyms

The tristate checker used to put this series together (not for upstreaming yet,
and not necessary for any of this to work) is at
https://github.com/nickalcock/linux tristate-checker
