[PATCH] uapi: fix linux/sysctl.h userspace compilation errors

From: Dmitry V. Levin
Date: Wed Feb 22 2017 - 18:17:21 EST


Include <stddef.h> (guarded by #ifndef __KERNEL__) to fix the following
linux/sysctl.h userspace compilation errors:

/usr/include/linux/sysctl.h:38:2: error: unknown type name 'size_t'
size_t *oldlenp;
/usr/include/linux/sysctl.h:40:2: error: unknown type name 'size_t'
size_t newlen;

This also fixes userspace compilation of uapi headers that include
linux/sysctl.h, e.g. linux/netfilter.h.
