This is bit late, but we're still on v4.9-rc2, so anyhow.

On my machine this header ends up in /usr/include/asm/prctl.h. But in
userspace CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is meaningless. I think if you
actually want to export these three macros to userspace the guard
should read:
    #if defined(CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE) || !defined(__KERNEL__)

And if you don't want to export these macros the guard should read:
    #if defined(CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE) && defined(__KERNEL__)

(In that case you're probably better of defining these macros outside
of uapi.)

I've only lightly tested those two alternatives, so please double
check.
