khelp: suppress useless warning message on shutdown

If a module (e.g. the ertt hhook for TCP) can't clean up at
shutdown, there is nothing to be done about it. In the ertt case,
cleanup is just shutting down a UMA zone, which doesn't need to be
done. Suppress EBUSY warnings on shutdown.

spdx: The BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier is obsolete, drop -FreeBSD

The SPDX folks have obsoleted the BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier. Catch
up to that fact and revert to their recommended match of BSD-2-Clause.

sys/kern: adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Add a private KPI between hhook and khelp that allows khelp modules to insert
hook functions into hhook points which register after the modules were loaded -
potentially useful during boot or if hhook points are dynamically registered.

# b1f53277 14-Jun-2013 Lawrence Stewart <lstewart@FreeBSD.org>

Internalise handling of virtualised hook points inside
hhook_{add|remove}_hook_lookup() so that khelp (and other potential API
consumers) do not have to care when they attempt to (un)hook a particular hook
point identified by id and type.

- Introduce the Hhook (Helper Hook) KPI. The KPI is closely modelled on pfil(9),
and in many respects can be thought of as a more generic superset of pfil.
Hhook provides a way for kernel subsystems to export hook points that Khelp
modules can hook to provide enhanced or new functionality to the kernel. The
KPI has been designed to ensure hook points pose no noticeable overhead when
no hook functions are registered.

- Introduce the Khelp (Kernel Helpers) KPI. Khelp provides a framework for
managing Khelp modules, which indirectly use the Hhook KPI to register their
hook functions with hook points of interest within the kernel. Khelp modules
aim to provide a structured way to dynamically extend the kernel at runtime in
an ABI preserving manner. Depending on the subsystem providing hook points, a
Khelp module may be able to associate per-object data for maintaining relevant
state between hook calls.

- pjd's Object Specific Data (OSD) KPI is used to manage the per-object data
allocated to Khelp modules. Create a new "OSD_KHELP" OSD type for use by the
Khelp framework.

- Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900028 to mark the introduction of the new KPIs.
