Subject: [PATCH] uapi/linux/stddef.h: Provide __always_inline to userspace headers

Recent change to uapi/linux/swab.h needs this.

Unfortunately, UAPI headers don't include compiler.h and fixing it there is not enough.

Tested. Testcase: "make headers_install" and try to compile this:

	#include <linux/swab.h>
	void main() {}
