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.

* Used to create an anonymous union of two structs with identical layout
* and size: one anonymous and one named. The former's members can be used
* normally without sub-struct naming, and the latter can be used to
* reason about the start, end, and size of the group of struct members.
* The named struct can also be explicitly tagged for layer reuse, as well
* as both having struct attributes appended.
