[PATCH][RESEND] do not redefine userspace's NULL #define

[Lubos Lunak]

GCC's NULL is actually __null, which allows detecting some questionable
NULL usage and warn about it. Moreover each platform/compiler should have
its own stddef.h anyway (which is different from linux/stddef.h).
So there's no good reason to override what the compiler provides.
Keep the #define conditionally, in order to keep the headers self-contained.

 There have been no further comments after this last version, and I do not see 
how this change should affect anything in either kernel builds or userspace 
builds, except for fixing the issue of overriding the proper NULL definition, 
so I consider this the proper and safe fix.
