Precise and non-ambiguous license information is important. The recently
added aegis header file has a SPDX license identifier, which is nice, but
at the same time it has a contradictionary license boiler plate text.

  SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0

Oh well.

Assuming that the SPDX identifier is correct and according to x86/hyper-v
contributions from Microsoft GPL V2 only is the usual license.

Remove the boiler plate as it is wrong and even if correct it is redundant.

P.S.: This patch is part of a larger cleanup, but independent of other
      patches and is intended to be picked up by the maintainer directly.
