linux/raid/md_p.h is using conditionals depending on endianess and fails
with an error if neither of __BIG_ENDIAN, __LITTLE_ENDIAN or
__BYTE_ORDER are defined, but it doesn't include any header which can
define these constants. This make this header unusable alone.
This patch adds a #include <asm/byteorder.h> at the beginning of this
header to make it usable alone. This is needed to compile klibc on MIPS.

In the UAPI header files, __BIG_ENDIAN and __LITTLE_ENDIAN must be
compared against __BYTE_ORDER in preprocessor conditionals where these are
exposed to userspace (that is they're not inside __KERNEL__ conditionals).
However, in the main kernel the norm is to check for
"defined(__XXX_ENDIAN)" rather than comparing against __BYTE_ORDER and
this has incorrectly leaked into the userspace headers.
The definition of struct mdp_superblock_s in linux/raid/md_p.h is wrong in
this way. Note that userspace will likely interpret the ordering of the
fields incorrectly as the big-endian variant on a little-endian machines -
depending on header inclusion order.
[!!!] NOTE [!!!] This patch may adversely change the userspace API. It might
be better to fix the ordering of events_hi, events_lo, cp_events_hi and
cp_events_lo in struct mdp_superblock_s / typedef mdp_super_t.

Set up empty UAPI Kbuild files to be populated by the header splitter.
