This header file is exported, thus move it to uapi.
I'm taking this patch, but with the following commit log: Due to the way kbuild works, this header was unintentionally exported back in 2013 when it was created, despite it not being in a uapi/ directory. This is very non-intuitive behaviour by Kbuild. However, we've had this include exported to userland for almost four years, and searching google for "ARM types.h __UINTPTR_TYPE__" gives no hint that anyone has complained about it. So, let's make it officially exported in this state. If anyone has any objections, they better shout sooner rather than later.
