Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] tools headers: Update the linux/unaligned.h copy with
 the kernel sources

To pick up the changes in:

  fe9b2b7b3583 vdso: Switch get/put unaligned from packed struct to memcpy

As the code is dependent on __unqual_scalar_typeof, update the tools
version of compiler_types.h to include this.
