Commit 7ac592aa35a684ff ("sched: prctl() core-scheduling interface")
made use of enum pid_type in prctl's arg4; this type and the associated
enumeration definitions are not exposed to userspace.  Try to fix that
by providing enum _kernel_pid_type and tying in-kernel enum pid_type
definitions to it.  Note that enum pid_type cannot be exposed as is,
since "enum pid_type" is already exists in various projects [1] (notably
gcc and strace), and "enum __pid_type" is defined by glibc and uclibc
for fcntl(F_SETOWN_EX) owner ID type.
