glibc's net/if.h contains copies of definitions from linux/if.h and these
conflict and cause build failures if both files are included by application
source code. Changes in uapi headers, which fixed header file dependencies to
include linux/if.h when it was needed, made the net/if.h and linux/if.h
incompatibilities visible as build failures for userspace applications
like iproute2.
This patch fixes the cases where glibc net/if.h is included before linux/if.h
by using the linux/libc-compat.h approach.
The cases where linux/if.h is included before net/if.h need a similar fix in
the glibc side, or the order of include files can be changed userspace
code as a workaround.
This change was tested in x86 userspace after 'make headers_install' and
combining these headers with plain glibc and gcc headers. The test included
not just net/if.h but all compiling glibc headers with linux/if.h and it
compiles now without errors and warnings.
