mstflint_access kernel module licensing is inconsistent

[dann frazier]

[Impact]
The mstflint_access kernel module provided by the mstflint-dkms package has inconsistent licensing in the source. While the SPDX-License-Identifier tag says "GPL-2.0 or Linux-OpenIB", the license header only lists BSD-3-Clause, which covers the Linux OpenIB license, but not the GPL.

Since I'm backporting changes before/after this correction, I felt it made sense to backport the licensing clarification as well.

[Test Case]
Confirm that the licensing in the source is now consistent.

[Where Things Could Go Wrong]
This is self-described as a licensing correct - updating comments only.

Licenses are now consistent. SPDX-License-Identifier is gone, and the boilerplate all says GPLv2 or OpenIB.org BSD:
