I think it is more complicate than this.
In the kernel you have code under GPLv2, GPLv2+ and even BSD licenses.
All these licenses are compatible but if you want to distribute all the sources
of the kernel then you are under the more restrictive license: GPLv2.
So we can say that kernel is GPLv2, but it doesn't prevent to submit code
under GPLv2+.

There seems to have a couple of files under GPLv2:
git grep "(at your option) any later version" | wc -l
6800
