Leo Yan dfcbe01951 tools: Fix bitfield dependency failure 
[ Upstream commit a537c0da16 ]

A perf build failure was reported by Thomas Voegtle on stable kernel
v6.6.120:

    CC      tests/sample-parsing.o
    CC      util/intel-pt-decoder/intel-pt-pkt-decoder.o
    CC      util/perf-regs-arch/perf_regs_csky.o
    CC      util/arm-spe-decoder/arm-spe-pkt-decoder.o
    CC      util/perf-regs-arch/perf_regs_loongarch.o
  In file included from util/arm-spe-decoder/arm-spe-pkt-decoder.h:10,
                   from util/arm-spe-decoder/arm-spe-pkt-decoder.c:14:
  /local/git/linux-stable-rc/tools/include/linux/bitfield.h: In function ‘le16_encode_bits’:
  /local/git/linux-stable-rc/tools/include/linux/bitfield.h:166:31: error: implicit declaration of
  function ‘cpu_to_le16’; did you mean ‘htole16’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    ____MAKE_OP(le##size,u##size,cpu_to_le##size,le##size##_to_cpu) \
                                 ^~~~~~~~~
  /local/git/linux-stable-rc/tools/include/linux/bitfield.h:149:9: note: in definition of macro
  ‘____MAKE_OP’
    return to((v & field_mask(field)) * field_multiplier(field)); \
           ^~
  /local/git/linux-stable-rc/tools/include/linux/bitfield.h:170:1: note: in expansion of macro
  ‘__MAKE_OP’
   __MAKE_OP(16)

Fix this by including linux/kernel.h, which provides the required
definitions.

The issue was not found on the mainline due to the relevant C files have
included kernel.h.  It'd be good to merge this change on mainline
as well for robustness.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
