[PATCH v3] eventfd: add a uapi header for eventfd userspace APIs

[wenyang.linux]

From: Wen Yang <wenyang.linux@foxmail.com>

Create a uapi header include/uapi/linux/eventfd.h, move the associated
flags to the uapi header, and include it from linux/eventfd.h.

Applied to the vfs.misc branch of the vfs/vfs.git tree.
Patches in the vfs.misc branch should appear in linux-next soon.

Please report any outstanding bugs that were missed during review in a
new review to the original patch series allowing us to drop it.

It's encouraged to provide Acked-bys and Reviewed-bys even though the
patch has now been applied. If possible patch trailers will be updated.
