Fix problem with undefined umode_t type in 3.3 kernel headers
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]
