[4.15-stable 1/1] uapi/if_ether.h: move __UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR libc define

[4.15-stable 1/1] uapi/if_ether.h: move __UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR libc define

[Mark Asselstine]

Please promote commit da360299b6734135a5f66d7db458dcc7801c826a [uapi/
if_ether.h: move __UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR libc define] to linux-4.15.y stable. 
Without this fix users of the uapi headers will run into the issue as 
described in the commit log. Specifically we have seen this with building 
ebtables.

Thanks,
Mark Asselstine

Please check my stable patchwork queue, it should be in there.

Thanks.

I was following the netdev documentation (https://www.kernel.org/doc/
Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt) and so I checked your patchwork queue 
here
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?state=*

along with GregKHs stable queue for 4.15 as well as pulling his latest 
linux-4.15.y stable and saw no sign of it. And somehow I see no sign of this 
patch. Sorry if I am missing it somehow.

Thanks for checking.

Let me sort this out, I'll make sure it's in my queue and that I will submit
it explicitly.
