The correct fix is to remove all references to linux/*.

With libc5, it was appropriate to include both sets as there was a
dependency between /usr/include/* and /usr/include/{linux,asm}/*.
That dependency no longer exists, and the correct fix is to always
include from anywhere *but* /usr/include/{linux,asm}.
