Subject: [PATCH 5.12 310/384] powerpc: fix EDEADLOCK redefinition error in uapi/asm/errno.h

From: Tony Ambardar <tony.ambardar@...il.com>

commit 7de21e679e6a789f3729e8402bc440b623a28eae upstream.

A few archs like powerpc have different errno.h values for macros
EDEADLOCK and EDEADLK. In code including both libc and linux versions of
errno.h, this can result in multiple definitions of EDEADLOCK in the
include chain. Definitions to the same value (e.g. seen with mips) do
not raise warnings, but on powerpc there are redefinitions changing the
value, which raise warnings and errors (if using "-Werror").

Guard against these redefinitions to avoid build errors like the following,
first seen cross-compiling libbpf v5.8.9 for powerpc using GCC 8.4.0 with
musl 1.1.24:

  In file included from ../../arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/errno.h:5,
                   from ../../include/linux/err.h:8,
                   from libbpf.c:29:
  ../../include/uapi/asm-generic/errno.h:40: error: "EDEADLOCK" redefined [-Werror]
   #define EDEADLOCK EDEADLK

  In file included from toolchain-powerpc_8540_gcc-8.4.0_musl/include/errno.h:10,
                   from libbpf.c:26:
  toolchain-powerpc_8540_gcc-8.4.0_musl/include/bits/errno.h:58: note: this is the location of the previous definition
   #define EDEADLOCK       58

  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
