Most blktests code, including check and common/rc, is licensed under
GPL-3.0+. However, tests/block/029, 030 and 031 are licensed under
GPL-2.0 only. These test scripts source GPL-3.0+ shell code, but
GPL-2.0-only code is incompatible with GPL-3.0 code [1].

Relicense these test scripts under GPL-3.0 or later to resolve this
incompatibility.

The script files were authored by Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org>,
and subsequently modified by five contributors:

 Yi Zhang <yi.zhang@redhat.com>
 Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
 Li Zhijian <lizhijian@fujitsu.com>
 Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>
 Shin'ichiro Kawasaki <shinichiro.kawasaki@wdc.com>

Bart and all of the listed contributors except Yi Zhang agreed to the
relicensing. Yi Zhang did not respond to requests sent to his Red Hat
e-mail address and the address associated with his GitHub account. His
changes are considered de minimis, so his consent is not required [2].
