Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 05/10] headers, net: Define struct
 __kernel_sockaddr, replacing struct sockaddr

Commit 9c501935a3cdcf6b1d35aaee3aa11c7a7051a305 ('net: Support
inclusion of <linux/socket.h> before <sys/socket.h>') removed the
definition of struct sockaddr for userland.

But we still have several headers using struct sockaddr, and we
shouldn't make them include <sys/socket.h> as that risks recursive
inclusion in future.  Define and use an identical struct
__kernel_sockaddr instead.
