Since this header is in "include/uapi/linux/", apparently people
want to use it in userspace programs -- even in C++ ones.
However, the header uses a C++ reserved keyword ("private"),
so change that to "dh_private" instead to allow the header file
to be used in C++ userspace.
This change breaks all existing C programs that rely on <linux/keyctl.h>
uapi header in order to get struct keyctl_dh_params definition, however.
