We only include linux/kdbus.h. On sanitized headers, this will include
linux/types.h -> linux/posix_types.h -> linux/stddef.h.
If you use the uapi headers, then stddef.h is not sanitized and will
still include linux/compiler.h (which is removed on sanitized
headers). Hence, this error only occurs if you include
uapi/linux/kdbus.h. With sanitized headers in ./usr/, the compiler
will prefer ./usr/linux/kdbus.h and ./usr/linux/stddef.h, thus never
including any linux/compiler.h.

If you drop -I./include/uapi/, you will get "linux/kdbus.h not found".
The error will be different, but it will not fix anything. However, if
you run "make headers_install", everything will compile just fine even
with -I./include/uapi/.

Thanks
