Mauro Carvalho Chehab e7121ab405 media: docs: fix some GPL licensing ambiguity at the text
Those files are meant to be dual GPL 2.0 and GFDL without
implicit sections. However, by a wrong cut-and-paste, I ended
by applying a GPL 2+ license text to it, while still using the
GPL 2.0 SPDX tag, with would cause an ambiguity about the
licensing model.

Solve this by explicitly mentioning that the dual licensing
is between GPL 2.0 and GFDL and correcting the text.

ioctl MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_REINIT
******************************
Name
====
MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_REINIT - Re-initialize a request
Synopsis
========
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int request_fd, MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_REINIT )
:name: MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_REINIT
Arguments
=========
``request_fd``
File descriptor returned by :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_REQUEST_ALLOC`.
Description
===========
If the media device supports :ref:`requests <media-request-api>`, then
this request ioctl can be used to re-initialize a previously allocated
request.
Re-initializing a request will clear any existing data from the request.
This avoids having to :ref:`close() <request-func-close>` a completed
request and allocate a new request. Instead the completed request can just
be re-initialized and it is ready to be used again.
A request can only be re-initialized if it either has not been queued
yet, or if it was queued and completed. Otherwise it will set ``errno``
to ``EBUSY``. No other error codes can be returned.
Return Value
============
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately.
EBUSY
The request is queued but not yet completed.
