Subject: [PATCH 4/8] kbuild, PCI: endpoint: comment out MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules

Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.

So comment out all uses of MODULE_LICENSE that are not in real modules
(the license declaration is left in as documentation).
