Subject: um: Stop abusing __KERNEL__
From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx>
commit 298e20ba8c197e8d429a6c8671550c41c7919033 upstream.
Currently UML is abusing __KERNEL__ to distinguish between
kernel and host code (os-Linux). It is better to use a custom
define such that existing users of __KERNEL__ don't get confused.
