Subject: [PATCH net-next] tools: ynl: change the comment about header guards

Przemek suggests that I shouldn't accuse GCC of witchcraft,
there is a simpler explanation for why we need manual define.

scripts/headers_install.sh modifies the guard.

This also solves the mystery of why I needed to include
the header conditionally. I had the wrong guards for most
cases but ethtool.
