[PATCH v3 4/5] x86/uapi: Stop leaking kconfig references to userspace

Message-ID <20260114-headers_install-config-leak-v3-4-c14cde735a79@linutronix.de>
UAPI headers are not supposed to leak references to kconfig symbols.
These won't be set when building userspace. Hide the kconfig reference
behind 'if defined(__KERNEL__)', so it will be stripped by
headers_install.sh. The result for userspace will be the same, but the
exceptions in headers_install.sh can also be removed.

There is no point in exposing AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH in the UAPI in any
case and I have another series in the works to get rid of it completely.
