  sparse: Fix conflict between netinet/in.h and linux/in.h

linux/in.h (from linux uapi headers) carries many of the same
definitions as netinet/in.h (from glibc).

If linux/in.h is included after netinet/in.h, conflicts are avoided in
two ways:

1) linux/libc-compat.h (included by linux/in.h) detects the include
   guard of netinet/in.h and defines some macros (e.g.
   __UAPI_DEF_IN_IPPROTO) to 0.  linux/in.h avoids exporting the same
   enums if those macros are 0.

2) The two files are allowed to redefine the same macros as long as the
   values are the same.

Our include/sparse/netinet/in.h creates problems, because:

1) It uses a custom include guard
2) It uses dummy values for some macros.

This commit changes include/sparse/netinet/in.h to use the same include
guard as glibc netinet/in.h, and to use the same values for some macros.

I think this problem is present with linux headers after
a263653ed798("netfilter: don't pull include/linux/netfilter.h from netns
headers") which cause our lib/netlink-conntrack.c to include linux/in.h
after netinet/in.h.
