When seg6.h is included in a user space program that also includes
netinet/in.h, it results in multiple definitions of structures such as
struct in6_addr. Recent glibc versions have a workaround that consists in
defining __USE_KERNEL_IPV6_DEFS to prevent duplicates. However, such a
program will fail to compile with older glibc versions.

This patch ensures that including seg6.h will work in any case.

Fixes: ea3ebc73b46fbdb049dafd47543bb22efaa09c8e ("uapi: fix linux/seg6.h and linux/seg6_iptunnel.h userspace compilation errors")

When this gets pulled into iproute2's include/linux/seg6.h due to
header rebase, we still have the same effect.

__USE_KERNEL_IPV6_DEFS gets defined by ip/iproute_lwtunnel.c, and
when we then include above header, we end up including linux/in6.h
just like before, same compile error in iproute2.

Or, is there still another fix for iproute2 coming after this has
landed?

Thanks,
Daniel

Yes, I will submit the fix to iproute2 once this one has been applied,
so that I can reference it.

Mmmh actually I can fix this without sending a patch to iproute2.
Handling the __USE_KERNEL_IPV6_DEFS case in seg6.h is wrong, as it is
already performed in netinet/in.h. I can fix the issue with a simpler ifdef.

Will send v2.

The simpler ifdef works fine, but a patch to iproute2 is still needed.
