Subject: [PATCH v4] uapi/linux/prctl: provide macro definitions for the
 PR_SCHED_CORE type argument

Commit 7ac592aa35a684ff ("sched: prctl() core-scheduling interface")
made use of enum pid_type in prctl's arg4; this type and the associated
enumeration definitions are not exposed to userspace.  Christian
has suggested to provide additional macro definitions that convey
the meaning of the type argument more in alignment with its actual
usage, and this patch does exactly that.

Suggested-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@...ntu.com>

v4:
  - Rewritten in accordance with Christian Brauner's suggestion to provide
    macro definitions that are explicitly tailored for the prctl op.

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210807120905.GA14706@asgard.redhat.com/
  - Fixed header guard macro: s/_UAPI_LINUX_PID_H/_UAPI_LINUX_PIDTYPE_H/,
    as noted by Dmitry Levin.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210807104800.GA22620@asgard.redhat.com/
  - Header file is renamed from pid.h to pidtype.h to avoid collisions
    with include/linux/pid.h when included from uapi headers;
  - The enum type has renamed from __kernel_pid_type to __kernel_pidtype
    to avoid possible confusion with __kernel_pid_t.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210807010123.GA5174@asgard.redhat.com/
