On arm / cortex-a8 Arch/Subarch sys/types.h doesn't include
sys/sysmacros.h which contains minor() and major() macros.

Add patch to directly include <sys/sysmacros.h> into photosyst.c where
minor() and major() macros are used.

Patch has been taken from atop upstream pull request:
https://github.com/Atoptool/atop/pull/35

Fixes

This has nothing to do with ARM/Cortex-A8, and it is the same on all
architectures. The key thing is that this happens with glibc 2.28,
where sys/types.h no longer includes sys/sysmacros.h.

So I've reworded the commit log as follows:

    atop: fix minor()/major() build failure due to glibc 2.28
    
    glibc 2.28 no longer includes <sys/sysmacros.h> from <sys/types.h>,
    and therefore <sys/sysmacros.h> must be included explicitly when
    major()/minor() are used. See glibc upstream commit:
    
      https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=e16deca62e16f645213dffd4ecd1153c37765f17
    
    This commit adds a patch to directly include <sys/sysmacros.h> into
    photosyst.c where minor() and major() macros are used.
    
    Patch has been taken from atop upstream pull request:
    
      https://github.com/Atoptool/atop/pull/35

But it's not really all your fault, because even the upstream commit
log is wrong: it's talking about "old gcc" vs. "new gcc", while this
problem has nothing to do with gcc, but is related to a glibc change.

Applied to next with the updated commit log. Thanks!
