[4/4] blktap2: Added COPYING file

Commit Message

Blktap2 has some complexity, as some files do not have (c) headers
and the directory did not have a COPYING file. At this stage, we
have not verified the intention of (c) holders. We may do this in
future, if the need arises.

I think this is going to be dropped since I'm going to remove blktap2
altogether.
