Reason of this re-define is that SOL_VSOCK must be exported to userspace, so
i place it to include/uapi/XXX. At the same time include/linux/socket.h contains
constants for SOL_XXX and they goes sequentially in this file (e.g. one by one,
each new value is +1 to the previous). So if I add SOL_VSOCK to include/uapi/XXX
only, it is possible that someone will add new SOL_VERY_NEW_SOCKET == 287 to
include/linux/socket.h in future. I think it is not good that two SOL_XXX will
have same value.

For example SOL_RDS and SOL_TIPS uses the same approach - there are two same defines:
one in include/uapi/ and another is in include/linux/socket.h

May be:

in include/linux/socket.h

#ifndef SOL_VSOCK
#define SOL_VSOCK 287
#endif

But not sure...
