xen/kernel.h: Import __struct_group from Linux
Import __struct_group from Linux, commit 50d7bd38c3aa
("stddef: Introduce struct_group() helper macro"), in order to
allow the access through the anonymous structure to the members
without having to write also the name, e.g:
struct foo {
int one;
struct {
int two;
int three, four;
} thing;
int five;
};
would become:
struct foo {
int one;
__struct_group(/* None */, thing, /* None */,
int two;
int three, four;
);
int five;
};
Allowing the users of this structure to access the .thing members by
using .two/.three/.four on the struct foo.
This construct will become useful in order to have some generalized
interfaces that shares some common members.
