The contents of COPYING file is now duplicated at two other
files under LICENSE:
LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0
LICENSES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note

Also, a new file was added, with describes how SPDX should work at
the Kernel source files:
Documentation/process/license-rules.rst

Instead fo having it copying the contents of two files, and not
even mentioning the third one, replace it by a file whose content
points to the other tree files, preserving the Kernel's license.

Adjust license-rules.rst accordingly.

No license changes.

NOTE
====

In order to make the diff easier to read, I broke it into two patches.
Feel free to merge both when merging if you want.
