[PATCH iproute2] iproute2: Fix undeclared __kernel_long_t type build error in RHEL 6.8

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leo...@mellanox.com>

Add asm/posix_types.h header file to the list of needed includes,
because the headers files in RHEL 6.8 are too old and doesn't
have declaration of __kernel_long_t.

In file included from ../include/uapi/linux/kernel.h:5,
                 from ../include/uapi/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h:4,
                 from ../include/xtables.h:20,
                 from em_ipset.c:26:
../include/uapi/linux/sysinfo.h:9: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list 
before ‘__kernel_long_t’

Stephen,
I don't know how to properly solve this type of errors and would like to
hear your guidance on it.

Should I simply add kernel file? Or maybe I need to add HAVE_xxx checks
to configure script to check __kernel_long_t existence and declare only
this type?

I also have another build error on RHEL 6.8 system and looking for a
solution.

In file included from em_ipset.c:26:
../include/xtables.h:35:29: error: xtables-version.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [em_ipset.o] Error 1

The iptables-devel is iptables-devel-1.4.7-16.el6.x86_64 so check_xt()
success, but RH headers don't have xtable-version.h and the relevant defines
are embedded in the main xtables.h header file.

Thanks
