Actually I had to revert.

You are including net/macsec.h from a UAPI header, and that does not
work once userlance tries to use things.  And this even makes the
kernel build fail:

[davem@localhost net-next]$ make -s -j14
In file included from <command-line>:32:
./usr/include/linux/if_macsec.h:17:10: fatal error: net/macsec.h: No such file or directory
 #include <net/macsec.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [usr/include/Makefile:104: usr/include/linux/if_macsec.hdrtest] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:503: usr/include] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:1693: usr] Error 2

Please fix this and respin.  And honestly just leave 12-15 out of the v6
submission, thanks.
