Subject: uapi/linux/keyctl.h: don't use C++ reserved keyword as a struct member name
Since this header is in "include/uapi/linux/", apparently people want to
use it in userspace programs -- even in C++ ones. However, the header
uses a C++ reserved keyword ("private"), so change that to "dh_private"
instead to allow the header file to be used in C++ userspace.
Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191051
