<linux/kernel.h> tends to be cluttered because we often put various sort
of unrelated stuff in it. So, we have split out a sensible chunk of
code into a separate header from time to time.
This commit splits out the *_MAX and *_MIN defines.
The standard header <limits.h> contains various MAX, MIN constants
including numerial limits. [1]
I think it makes sense to move in-kernel MAX, MIN constants into
include/linux/limits.h.
We already have include/uapi/linux/limits.h to contain some user-space
constants. I changed its include guard to _UAPI_LINUX_LIMITS_H. This
change has no impact to the user-space because
scripts/headers_install.sh rips off the '_UAPI' prefix from the include
guards of exported headers.

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.
