mmlicense: do not check against "requiredLicense" field
When a new node is added for the first time to GPFS (without specifying a license on mmaddnode), the Host probably gets assigned the "client" license by default. Now if you want to designate the Host as a server afterwards, this check would prevent you to do so, since by default the "requiredLicense" is set to "client". This check isn't really needed anyway, because I assume one can just treat the "requiredLicense" field in mmlslicense as a "hint". The only thing that matters is the designatedLicense. Additionally, GPFS will somehow anyway rewrite this internally at some point. Recently added a new node and designated it as "server". mmslicense shows "client" for "requiredLicense" and "server" for "designatedLicense" as expected. Some time later, mmlslicense showed "server" as "requiredLicense", and "fpo-server" for "designatedLicense".
