Licensing on lib/bsearch.c?

Hi Tim, Andre,

I note that the license header on lib/bsearch.c is GPLv2. I wanted to
steal it for SAMBA, which is GPLv3. This is one reason all my kernel code is
v2 or later.

If you don't have strong objections, could you send something like the
following so I don't have to reimplement and re-test?

Thanks,
Rusty.
