Currently sas_task.c has no license specifier, so add SPDX license

As mentioned in commit b24413180f56 ("License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0
license identifier to files with no license"), files with no license in
the kernel are under default kernel license.
The default is GPLv2, not v2+.
So sas_task.c should be v2.
While I'm at it, all other libsas source code files are updated to use
SPDX license identifier for GPL-2.0+.

No, the above license is GPLv2 only, do NOT change the license of a file
unless you have permission to do so.
Of course. That was not my intention. My mistake.
Also, the spdx line goes at the first line of the file.
JFYI, checkpatch.pl does pick up on this for .c/.h files but not this one.

Again you changed the license, not good :(
I was thrown by having a different license for the Kconfig+Makefile vs
.c/.h.
Please do not make these types of changes unless you really know what
you are doing, it is not ok to change the license of files.
Right, of course.

Thanks, I'll fix them properly,
