Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: Make bpf/bpf_helpers.h self-contained

I tried to compile a bpf program including bpf_helpers.h, however it
resulted in failure as below:

  # clang -I./linux/tools/lib/ -I/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include/ \
    -O2 -Wall -target bpf -emit-llvm -c bpf_prog.c -o bpf_prog.bc
  ...
  In file included from linux/tools/lib/bpf/bpf_helpers.h:5:
  linux/tools/lib/bpf/bpf_helper_defs.h:56:82: error: unknown type name '__u64'
  ...

This is because bpf_helpers.h depends on linux/types.h and it is not
self-contained. This has been like this long time, but since bpf_helpers.h
was moved from selftests private file to libbpf header file, IMO it 
should include linux/types.h by itself.

Fixes: e01a75c15969 ("libbpf: Move bpf_{helpers, helper_defs, endian, tracing}.h into libbpf")
