Masahiro Yamada d39e061540 powerpc: use __kernel_{uid,gid}32_t in uapi/asm/stat.h 
Commit c01013a2f8 ("powerpc: add asm/stat.h to UAPI compile-test
coverage") converted as follows:

  uid_t  -->  __kernel_uid_t
  gid_t  -->  __kernel_gid_t

The bit width of __kernel_{uid,gid}_t is 16 or 32-bits depending on
architectures.

PPC uses 32-bits for them as in include/uapi/asm-generic/posix_types.h,
so the previous conversion is probably fine, but let's stick to the
arch-independent conversion just in case.

The safe replacements across all architectures are:

  uid_t  -->  __kernel_uid32_t
  gid_t  -->  __kernel_gid32_t

as defined in include/linux/types.h.

A similar issue was reported for the android binder. [1]

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
