Import stddef.h from the Linux kernel sources v6.17 at revision
3407caa69a06 ("uapi: stddef.h: Introduce __kernel_nonstring")

The stddef.h header is imported to provide the __counted_by() symbol
which is not available in the header version shipped with, in example,
Debian 12.  __counted_by() will be used by the v4l2-isp.h header which
will be imported next.
