commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=4470dd9b1bdbb9b39e9fb13f27bcaa044719de6d
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Kernels v4.7 and newer[1] require the __USE_MISC macro for libc-compat.h
suppressions to be effective. musl does not define this macros, so add an
unconditional definition of __USE_MISC to libc-compat.h.

In addition, since musl define IFF_LOWER_UP and friends as macros (instead of
enums), define __UAPI_DEF_IF_NET_DEVICE_FLAGS_LOWER_UP_DORMANT_ECHO to
suppress the kernel corresponding definitions to avoid conflict.

Fixes (xl2tp):

    !__USE_MISC in glibc)
