makedev.3: glibc has deprecated exposing the definitions via <sys/types.h> 

Compile warning with glibc 2.25:

    warning: In the GNU C Library, "makedev" is defined by
    <sys/sysmacros.h>. For historical compatibility, it is
    currently defined by <sys/types.h> as well, but we plan to
    remove this soon.  To use "makedev", include <sys/sysmacros.h>
    directly. If you did not intend to use a system-defined macro
    "makedev", you should undefine it after including
    <sys/types.h>.

Background: glibc commit dbab6577c6684c62bd2521c1c29dc25c3cac966f
