[PATCH] arm64: add workaround for ambiguous C99 stdint.h types

[Ard Biesheuvel]

In a way similar to ARM commit 09096f6a0ee2 ("ARM: 7822/1: add workaround
for ambiguous C99 stdint.h types"), this patch redefines the macros that
are used in stdint.h so its definitions of uint64_t and int64_t are
compatible with those of the kernel.

In order to do so, drop types.h from generic-y and create a specific arm64
version identical to the generic one with just the #define overrides added.
