Yes, I've now added an ifdef here (previously I had the ifdef inside
the struct uaccess_buffer_info, but I think this would still leave
some space due to C struct layout rules).

The uaccess_buffer_set_logging (now
uaccess_buffer_set_descriptor_addr_addr) function is defined to return
-EINVAL if CONFIG_UACCESS_BUFFER is not defined.
