Subject: [PATCH 1/1] UIO: unbreak uio.h userspace compilation

To avoid userspace build failures such as:
.../linux/uio.h:37: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘iov_length’
.../linux/uio.h:47: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘size_t’
move one uio declaration inside a __KERNEL__ block and use __kernel_size_t
instead of size_t for iov_length (it's inlined and used in userspace already).
