[PATCH v6 2/3] tools: copy include/linux/stddef.h to tools/include

From: Celeste Liu
Date: Wed Jan 15 2025 - 06:14:56 EST


Some macro defined in stddef.h are useful and have been used in many
code in selftests. Copy them to tools/include so developers needn't
create their copy in every files.

Remove some definitions like NULL and true/false to be suitable to
non-kernel environment.
