linux-libc-headers: update to 4.15.7
While we don't normally follow all the -stable updates for libc-headers, there
was one userspace header that was broken in the 4.15 cycle, and it has now
been fixed in -stable.
The offending header breaks the build for several packages, so we update to
pick up this change:

uapi/if_ether.h: move __UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR libc define
commit
da360299b6734135a5f66d7db458dcc7801c826a upstream.
This fixes a compile problem of some user space applications by not
including linux/libc-compat.h in uapi/if_ether.h.
linux/libc-compat.h checks which "features" the header files, included
from the libc, provide to make the Linux kernel uapi header files only
provide no conflicting structures and enums. If a user application mixes
kernel headers and libc headers it could happen that linux/libc-compat.h
gets included too early where not all other libc headers are included
yet. Then the linux/libc-compat.h would not prevent all the
redefinitions and we run into compile problems.
This patch removes the include of linux/libc-compat.h from
uapi/if_ether.h to fix the recently introduced case, but not all as this
is more or less impossible.
It is no problem to do the check directly in the if_ether.h file and not
in libc-compat.h as this does not need any fancy glibc header detection
as glibc never provided struct ethhdr and should define
__UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR by them self when they will provide this.
The following test program did not compile correctly any more:
#include <linux/if_ether.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <linux/in.h>
int main(void)
{
return 0;
}

We also add a new muslc patch to adjust the ethhdr change in the uapi. As is
suggested in the kernel commit, we can protect musl directly in if_ether itself.
