Subject: [PATCH v3] socket: Don't use u8 type in uapi socket.h

Use plain 255 instead, which also avoid introducing an additional header
dependency on <linux/types.h>

Fixes: 26859240e4ee ("txhash: Add socket option to control TX hash rethink behavior")
Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@...tanz.ch>

v3: changed to plain 255 as suggested by David Laight and Paolo Abeni
