Subject: [PATCH] arm64: uapi: Fix user space compile with musl libc

musl libc also defines the structures in their arch/aarch64/bits/signal.h
header file. Some applications like strace and gdb include both of them
and then the structure definitions are clashing and the build of these
user space applications fails.

This patch allows a libc to define a constant which tells the kernel
header file that the libc already defined these structures and that they
should not be defined by the kernel uapi header files any more to
prevent clashes. This is done in a similar way as it is already done for
other header files.

When this patch was accepted into the kernel I will also update musl
libc to define these constants.
