Subject: [PATCH] devlink: fix libc and kernel headers collision

Since commit 2f1242efe9d ("devlink: Add devlink health show command") we
use the sys/sysinfo.h header for the sysinfo(2) system call. But since
iproute2 carries a local version of the kernel struct sysinfo, this
causes a collision with libc that do not rely on kernel defined sysinfo
like musl libc:

In file included from devlink.c:25:0:
.../sysroot/usr/include/sys/sysinfo.h:10:8: error: redefinition of 'struct sysinfo'
 struct sysinfo {
        ^~~~~~~
In file included from ../include/uapi/linux/kernel.h:5:0,
                 from ../include/uapi/linux/netlink.h:5,
                 from ../include/uapi/linux/genetlink.h:6,
                 from devlink.c:21:
../include/uapi/linux/sysinfo.h:8:8: note: originally defined here
 struct sysinfo {
		^~~~~~~

Rely on the kernel header alone to avoid kernel and userspace headers
collision of definitions.
