+ update code where needed (include <linux/sysinfo.h> in code which
included <linux/kernel.h> only to get struct sysinfo or SI_LOAD_SHIFT).

The reason is to avoid indirect <linux/sysinfo.h> include when using
some network headers: <linux/netlink.h> or others [1] ->
<linux/kernel.h> -> <linux/sysinfo.h>.

This indirect include causes redefinition of struct sysinfo when
included both <sys/sysinfo.h> and some of network headers:

Hi,

this looks to be long standing problem: python-psutil [2], iproute2 [3],
even for glibc in the past [4] and it tried to be solved before [5].

This will require glibc fix after:

You can't do this; it breaks the existing contract with glibc. New
kernel headers can't force a glibc upgrade. You just have to get rid
of use of <linux/kernel.h> elsewhere in the uapi headers. It was a
mistake that <linux/sysinfo.h> was ever separated out of
<linux/kernel.h> since it didn't (and couldn't) fix the contract that
<linux/kernel.h> exposes struct sysinfo (and that it's misnamed). But
it's no big deal. This can all be fixed without any breakage anywhere
just by not using it.

Back to your original suggestion to move the alignment macros to a separate
header. I was trying to avoid it not sure if introducing new header is
acceptable, but we'll see.

Isn't there already another similar header with that type of macro
that they belong in?
