The patch below does not apply to the 4.9-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.
That's OK, it's not needed on 4.9-stable because the include was already added when ssbd was backported. Ditto for 4.14.

Fix ssbd.c which depends implicitly on asm/ptrace.h including linux/prctl.h (through for example linux/compat.h, then linux/time.h, linux/seqlock.h, linux/spinlock.h and linux/irqflags.h), and uses PR_SPEC* defines.
This is an issue since we'll soon be removing the include from asm/ptrace.h.
