This cosmetic patch converts the macsec implementation license header to
the now recommended format, SPDX.

MODULE_ALIAS_GENL_FAMILY("macsec");

MODULE_DESCRIPTION("MACsec IEEE 802.1AE");
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2");

The license text and the MODULE_LICENSE() don't agree with each other.
It would be good to fix this as well.
That's right, I'll fix it in v2. In such cases, the license text takes
precedence over the MODULE_LICENSE() definition ?

Thanks!
Antoine
