A comment about a pre-existing bug data structure definition is added.
This bug was evidently introduced by Xiong Zhou in the patch
bd471258f2e09 ("staging: android: logger: use kuid_t instead of uid_t")
where the code was changed to hide a valid build warning instead of
solving the bug that was identified by it.

- make sure things build as modules properly
- add proper arch dependencies as needed
- audit userspace interfaces to make sure they are sane
+ - kuid_t should never be exposed to user space as it is
+ kernel internal type. Data structure for this kuid_t is:
+ typedef struct {
+ uid_t val;
+ } kuid_t;
+ - This bug is introduced by Xiong Zhou in the patch bd471258f2e09
