[LTP] [PATCH v2] include: undefine _LINUX_TYPES_H if including old sys/capability.h

In some of the libcap-devel(1.96~2.16) versions, it defines the _LINUX_TYPES_H
macro that makes ltp-lib can not include linux/types.h essentially.

    # cat -n /usr/include/sys/capability.h
    ...
    25  /*
    26   * Make sure we can be included from userland by preventing
    27   * capability.h from including other kernel headers
    28   */
    29  #define _LINUX_TYPES_H

To get rid of this compiling errors on rhel6(libcap-devel-2.16) series platform,
here undefine _LINUX_TYPES_H if test included that old sys/capability.h.
