Add a header include guard just in case.

Looks like this file is unused at least in the kernel tree,
but I am not it is OK to delete it.
I am just adding the include guard for the header compile-testing.

arch/alpha/boot/tools/objstrip.c includes it but I don't think it's
actually needed. Yes, it would be nice to kill coff.h.

After some consideration, I think it is better to keep it
until we dump the alpha support entirely.
The following line in arch/alpha/boot/tools/objstrip.c
references a macro in <linux/coff.h>:
if (!(aout->fh.f_flags & COFF_F_EXEC)) {
I was not able to build objstrip.c anyway,
but I think it is better to keep the can of worms closed for now.
Could you apply this as-is please?
My motivation is to allow Kbuild to detect missing include guard:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11063011/
Before I enable this checker,
I want to fix as many headers as possible.
