Subject: [PATCH 1/1] uapi: Don't include <linux/sysinfo.h> in <linux/kernel.h>

+ update code where needed (include <linux/sysinfo.h> in code which
included <linux/kernel.h> only to get struct sysinfo or SI_LOAD_SHIFT).

The reason is to avoid indirect <linux/sysinfo.h> include when using
some network headers: <linux/netlink.h> or others [1] ->
<linux/kernel.h> -> <linux/sysinfo.h>.

This indirect include causes redefinition of struct sysinfo when
included both <sys/sysinfo.h> and some of network headers:

Hi,

this looks to be long standing problem: python-psutil [2], iproute2 [3],
even for glibc in the past [4] and it tried to be solved before [5].

This will require glibc fix after:
