When using libtracefs in a program, Adding the following:

 #define _GNU_SOURCE
 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>
 #include <string.h>
 #include <tracefs.h>

Caused the following error:

In file included from /usr/include/bits/statx.h:31,
                 from /usr/include/sys/stat.h:446,
                 from /usr/local/include/tracefs/tracefs.h:9,
/usr/include/linux/stat.h:57:2: error: unknown type name â__s64â
   57 |  __s64 tv_sec;
      |  ^~~~~

The #define _GNU_SOURCE appears to cause this, but I needed it for my
program. I tried several combinations to fix it, but the only solution
I found that worked was to remove <sys/stat.h> from tracefs.h.

There's no reason to have it in the global header. The only includes that a
header should have are those that the header itself needed. As tracefs.h
does not need sys/stat.h itself, it should be removed.
