[Buildroot] [git commit] Fix problem with undefined umode_t type in 3.3 kernel headers

[Peter Korsgaard]

commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=a3daa6f785285ee2354a55b55189930f18eb36a8
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The 3.3 kernel headers define the umode_t type within a __KERNEL__
preprocessor ifdef region. This results in a broken kernel header in the
buildroot toolchain.

[Peter: This is discussed upstream here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42986
Long term socat/syslinux should stop using this header, but this hasn't
been fixed upstream yet]

+Fix a problem with the 3.3 kernel headers. Specifically, the umode_t type
+is defined within a __KERNEL__ preprocessor ifdef region, and so the type
+is not usable by non-kernel code. Visit the following URL for more details.
