[PATCH] arm64: export tishift functions to modules

Otherwise modules that use these arithmetic operations will fail to
link. We accomplish this with EXPORT_SYMBOL in the .S file, but because
of symbol versioning, we actually need to have a declaration of these
too in C. So, we introduce asm-prototypes.h, which is the same file name
and technique used for similar reasons in the m68k arch tree.

While we're at it, we also fix this up to use SPDX, and I personally
choose to relicense this as GPL2||BSD so that these symbols don't need
to be export_symbol_gpl, so all modules can use the routines, since
these are important general purpose compiler-generated function calls.
