This structure definition is used outside the kernel proper.
For example in kmod and the kernel build environment.

To allow reuse, move it to a new UAPI header.

While it is not a true UAPI, it is a common practice to have
non-UAPI interface definitions in the kernel's UAPI headers.

This came up as part of my CONFIG_MODULE_HASHES series [0].
But it is useful on its own and so we get it out of the way.

Thomas Weißschuh (8):
      extract-cert: drop unused definition of PKEY_ID_PKCS7
      module: Drop unused signature types
      module: Give 'enum pkey_id_type' a more specific name
      module: Give MODULE_SIG_STRING a more descriptive name
      modules: Move 'struct module_signature' to UAPI
      tools uapi headers: add linux/module_signature.h
      sign-file: use 'struct module_signature' from the UAPI headers
      selftests/bpf: verify_pkcs7_sig: Use 'struct module_signature' from the 
UAPI headers
