This commit coordinates the definition of structures and enum already
defined the Linux kernel UAPI headers, following the procedure described
on https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Synchronizing_Headers.

With this change, it is safe to include <net/if.h> and <linux/if.h> in
any order in a a userspace application.

Note: this as been fixed in commit 4a91cb61bb995 on the Linux side.

Changelog:
	[BZ #21367]
	* sysdeps/gnu/net/if.h: wrap IFF_* enums in
	!defined __UAPI_DEF_IF_NET_DEVICE_FLAGS defines.
	(struct ifmap): Wrap in !defined __UAPI_DEF_IF_IFMAP defines.
	(struct ifreq): Wrap in !defined __UAPI_DEF_IF_IFREQ defines.
	(struct ifconf): Wrap in !defined __UAPI_DEF_IF_IFCONF defines.

Changes v1 -> v2:
  Use '#ifndef' instead of '#if !' so that it also works with -Werror=undef

Please try to include this patched <net/if.h> after <linux/xattr.h>
and see what's going to be defined.

Indeed you are correct. It seems that the way it's done on the Linux
side doesn't allow for any detection on the glibc side. Even worse
checking for _LINUX_IF_H in the glibc header doesn't work if the include
sequence is <linux/libc-compat.h>, <net/if.h> and <linux/if.h>.

I'll see what can be done on the kernel side first.
