Isn't it default for the Linux kernel?
SPDX eliminated the need to guess a default, and MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") implies the "or later" language. The only default assumption is that the license is GPL v2 compatible, those possibilities are myriad, but v2-only is the first preference.
No, MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") does not imply "or later" at all. Please see include/linux/module.h, it means "GPL version 2".
