Subject: uapi-header: doesn't update header include guard macros

Hi Jakub-

This is a minor nit, but I have

name: xxxx
uapi-header: linux/xxxx_netlink.h

in my yaml spec, and the actual uapi file is named

include/uapi/linux/xxxx_netlink.h

but the generated include guard macros in that header still say:

#ifndef _UAPI_LINUX_XXXX_H
#define _UAPI_LINUX_XXXX_H

....

#endif /* _UAPI_LINUX_XXXX_H */

They should use _UAPI_LINUX_XXXX_NETLINK_H instead to avoid
colliding with a human-written include/uapi/linux/xxxx.h.
