Infiniband clients must be attached and detached in a specific order in ibcore.

Currently the linking order of the infiniband, IB, modules decide in which
order the clients are attached and detached. For example one IB client may
use resources from another IB client. This can lead to a potential deadlock
at shutdown. For example if the ipoib is unregistered after the ib_multicast
client is detached, then if ipoib is using multicast addresses a deadlock may
happen, because ib_multicast will wait for all its resources to be freed before
returning from the remove method.

Fix this by using module_xxx_order() instead of module_xxx().

sys: general 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.

No functional change intended.

Prepare for activation of LinuxKPI module parameters as read-only
tunable SYSCTL's. Linux module parameters are associated with the
module they belong to. FreeBSD does not share this concept of a parent
module. Instead add macros which define the prefix to use for the
module parameters in the LinuxKPI consumers.

While at it convert all "bool" LinuxKPI module parameters to "byte"
type, because we don't have a "bool" type of SYSCTL in FreeBSD.
