kernel/seccomp.c includes linux/compat.h and, indicrectly, asm/compat.h

This patch makes the definition in asm/compat.h valid only if necessary.

This is horrible! Can we instead include linux/compat.h where we need this
macro and then remove this definition?

It's fine with me, but asm/compat.h is also included in
  hw_breakpoint.c, process.c, ptrace.c and signal.c.

After replacing asm/compat.h to linux/compat.h in these files, I could 
successfully built
the kernel, but I can't guarantee that the kernel works without any problem :-)

Anyway I will go forward with this change.
