On a modern Linux distro, compiling the following program fails:
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdint.h>
#include<pthread.h>
#include<linux/sched/types.h>
void main() {
struct sched_attr sa;
return;
}
with:
/usr/include/linux/sched/types.h:8:8: \
error: redefinition of ‘struct sched_param’
8 | struct sched_param {
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/sched.h:74,
from /usr/include/sched.h:43,
from /usr/include/pthread.h:23,

/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/types/struct_sched_param.h:23:8:
note: originally defined here
23 | struct sched_param
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
This is also causing a problem with using sched_attr in Chrome. The issue is
struct sched_param is already provided by glibc and is in POSIX.
Guard the kernel's UAPI definition of sched_param with __KERNEL__ so
that userspace and the kernel can both compile.

v1->v2:
With the chance that libc needs resolving something, I'm resending with
libc-alpha added as suggested by Christian, and minor commit message fixes.
