HPUX has separate NDELAY & NONBLOCK values. In the past we wanted to
be able to run HP-UX binaries natively on parisc Linux which is why
we defined O_NONBLOCK to 000200004 to distinguish NDELAY & NONBLOCK
bits.
But with 2 bits set in this bitmask we often ran into compatibility
issues with other Linux applications which often only test one bit (or
even compare the values).
To avoid such issues in the future, this patch changes O_NONBLOCK to
become 000200000. That way old programs will still be functional, and
for new programs we now have only one bit set.
Update the comment about SOCK_NONBLOCK too.

Those flags are nowhere used in the Linux kernel and were added when we
still wanted to support HP-UX in a compat mode. Since we never will
support HP-UX, drop those flags.

license
Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

[suggested by Rasmus Villemoes] make O_DIRECTORY | O_RDWR part of O_TMPFILE;
that will fail on old kernels in a lot more cases than what I came up with.
And make sure O_CREAT doesn't get there...
