[PATCH] 2.2.21-pre[34] pl2303.c non-modular compile fix

[Barry K. Nathan]

The pl2303 driver won't compile for me in Linux 2.2.21-pre3 or -pre4 if
modules are disabled. This might not be the right fix, but it allows the
driver to compile and work for me.

The correct patch is to module.h.  MODULE_LICENSE was added to
2.2.21-pre* as a compatibility patch but was incomplete.
