Now that the SPDX tag is in all comedi files, that identifies the
license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text
wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.
This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.
No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.
Update the drivers/staging/comedi files files with the correct SPDX
license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The
SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used
instead of the full boiler plate text.
This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

The proc entry is not essential for the comedi system as
evident by the support for !CONFIG_PROC_FS. So for failure
to create, just warn and continue loading.

In the seq_file 'show' handler for "/proc/comedi" - `comedi_read()` in
"comedi/proc.c", call `comedi_dev_get_from_minor()` instead of
`comedi_dev_from_minor()` to increment the reference counter for the
`struct comedi_device` while it is being examined. Call
`comedi_dev_put()` to decrement the reference afterwards. Also acquire
the `attach_lock` rwsem while checking whether the device is attached.

Low-level comedi drivers registered with the comedi core by
`comedi_driver_register()` are linked together into a simple linked list
headed by the `comedi_drivers` variable and chained by the `next` member
of `struct comedi_driver`. A driver is removed from the list by
`comedi_driver_unregister()`. The driver list is iterated through by
`comedi_device_attach()` when the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl is used to
attach a "legacy" device to a driver, and is also iterated through by
`comedi_read()` in "proc.c" when reading "/proc/comedi".
There is currently no protection against items being added or removed
from the list while it is being iterated. Add a mutex
`comedi_drivers_list_lock` to be locked while adding or removing an item
on the list, or when iterating through the list.
`comedi_driver_unregister()` also checks for and detaches any devices
using the driver. This is currently done before unlinking the driver
from the list, but it makes more sense to unlink the driver from the
list first to prevent `comedi_device_attach()` attempting to use it, so
move the unlinking part to the start of the function. Also, in
`comedi_device_attach()` hold on to the mutex until we've finished
attempting to attach the device to avoid it interfering with the
detachment in `comedi_driver_unregister()`.

Move the contents of "comedi_fops.h" into "comedi_internal.h" and delete
"comedi_fops.h". It only contains a couple of external variable
declarations (and #include <linux/types.h>) and one of those isn't even
declared in "comedi_fops.c". The other one is an external declaration
of a variable used to store a module parameter and some of those are
already externally declared in "comedi_internal.h", so they can keep it
company!
