Commit bfc5e3a6af39 ("selinux: use the kernel headers when building
scripts/selinux") is not the right thing to do.

It is clear from the warning in include/uapi/linux/types.h:

  #ifndef __EXPORTED_HEADERS__
  #warning "Attempt to use kernel headers from user space, see https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelHeaders"
  #endif /* __EXPORTED_HEADERS__ */

If you are inclined to define __EXPORTED_HEADERS__, you are likely doing
wrong.

Adding the comment:

  /* NOTE: we really do want to use the kernel headers here */

does not justify the hack in any way.

Currently, <linux/*.h> headers are included for the following purposes:

 - <linux/capability.h> is included to check CAP_LAST_CAP
 - <linux/socket.h> in included to check PF_MAX

We can skip these checks when building host programs, as they will
be eventually tested when building the kernel space.

I got rid of <linux/stddef.h> from initial_sid_to_string.h because
it is likely that NULL is already defined. If you insist on making
it self-contained, you can add the following:

  #ifdef __KERNEL__
  #include <linux/stddef.h>
  #else
  #include <stddef.h>
  #endif

scripts/selinux/mdp/mdp.c still includes <linux/kconfig.h>, which is
also discouraged and should be fixed by a follow-up refactoring.
