The uAPI stddef header includes compiler_types.h, a kernel-only
header, to make sure that kernel definitions of annotations
like __counted_by() take precedence.
There is a hack in scripts/headers_install.sh which strips includes
of compiler.h and compiler_types.h when installing uAPI headers.
While explicit handling makes sense for compiler.h, which is included
all over the uAPI, compiler_types.h is only included by stddef.h
(within the uAPI, obviously it's included in kernel code a lot).
Remove the stripping from scripts/headers_install.sh and wrap
the include of compiler_types.h in #ifdef __KERNEL__ instead.
This should be equivalent functionally, but is easier to understand
to a casual reader of the code. It also makes it easier to work
with kernel headers directly from under tools/
