Add pqi_big_passthru_ioctl() to handle CCISS_BIG_PASSTHRU ioctl
requests. The existing passthru ioctl uses a 16-bit integer for the I/O
buffer size, limiting transfers to 64KB. The big passthru ioctl uses
BIG_IOCTL_Command_struct which stores the buffer size as a 32-bit integer,
allowing larger transfers required by some management utilities.
Add CCISS_BIG_PASSTHRU_SUPPORTED to uapi/linux/cciss_ioctl.h and return 0
from pqi_ioctl() to advertise driver support. Userspace tools can send
this ioctl to probe whether the driver supports CCISS_BIG_PASSTHRU before
issuing it.

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.
