[PATCH 3.8 089/116] arm64: uid16: fix __kernel_old_{gid,uid}_t definitions

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.8.13.27 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>

commit 34c65c43f1518bf85f93526ad373adc6a683b4c5 upstream.

Whilst native arm64 applications don't have the 16-bit UID/GID syscalls
wired up, compat tasks can still access them. The 16-bit wrappers for
these syscalls use __kernel_old_uid_t and __kernel_old_gid_t, which must
be 16-bit data types to maintain compatibility with the 16-bit UIDs used
by compat applications.

This patch defines 16-bit __kernel_old_{gid,uid}_t types for arm64
instead of using the 32-bit types provided by asm-generic.
