As you suspected, linux/udp.h is not intended for use by userspace: it's
just that the libc build process doesn't make any effort to weed out
useless or redundant headers from the linux/* tree.

If you'd like to produce a patch to remove such headers, I daresay it
could be included without much trouble.
