Subject: [PATCH] uapi: Prevent redefinition of struct iphdr

As with struct ethhdr, the musl libc provides its own definition of the
iphdr struct.  This guard ensures software like net-tools builds correctly
on the musl libc.

The __UAPI_DEF_IPHDR definition is in ip.h itself to prevent the issue in
commit da360299b673 ("uapi/if_ether.h: move __UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR libc define")
from being seen here.
