[patch] scrub non-__GLIBC__ checks in linux/socket.h and linux/stat.h

but there are a few other
cases which still contain compound preprocessor directives such as:

  #if defined(__KERNEL__) || !defined(__GLIBC__) || (__GLIBC__ < 2)

having never worked with unifdef before, i guess i was being overly
optimistic in thinking that it, if i "unifdef"ed __KERNEL__, it might
at least simplify the expression.  oh, well ... live and learn.

userspace should be worrying about userspace, so having the socket.h
and stat.h pollute the namespace in the non-glibc case is wrong and
pretty much prevents any other libc from utilizing these headers
sanely unless they set up the __GLIBC__ define themselves (which
sucks)
