sysinfo.2: srcfix: change page license 

The license on the original versoin of this page is troublesome,
because of restrictions imposed by the clause that the page may be
modified "for the purpose of improving Linux or its documentation
efforts".

By now, I have rewritten all except trivial pieces of the page,
and the structure definitions in any case came from kernel header
files. So, I'm relicensing the page to the "verbatim" license.

See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118311
