Add the copyright header to bsg.c and bsg.h, which provide BSG (Block SCSI Generic) support for the io_uring_cmd engine. The files were previously committed without a license header.

It is a shame to litter files with copyright headers (when the code wasn't taken from another project and copied verbatim) and I think these days projects like the Linux kernel they actively try to avoid doing this. I understand companies want to protect their work but as fio wasn't started/isn't run entirely by Samsung perhaps some exception can be made?

@vincentkfu , @axboe what are your thoughts?

Our lawyers have requested that we include these copyright headers. I view these headers as an acknowledgement of the support that these enterprises provide to maintain and improve Fio, so I am inclined to allow them.

FWIW, I don't think there's anything wrong with adding copyright headers.
