These sys/cdefs.h are not needed. Purge them. They are mostly left-over
from the $FreeBSD$ removal. A few in libc are still required for macros
that cdefs.h defines. Keep those.

(cherry picked from commit 559a218c9b257775fb249b67945fe4a05b7a6b9f)
Currently each call to telldir() requires a malloc and adds an entry to a
linked list which must be traversed on future telldir(), seekdir(),
closedir(), and readdir() calls. Applications that call telldir() for every
directory entry incur O(n^2) behavior in readdir() and O(n) in telldir() and
closedir().
This optimization eliminates the malloc() and linked list in most cases by
packing the relevant information into a single long. On 64-bit architectures
msdosfs, NFS, tmpfs, UFS, and ZFS can all use the packed representation. On
32-bit architectures msdosfs, NFS, and UFS can use the packed
representation, but ZFS and tmpfs can only use it for about the first 128
files per directory. Memory savings is about 50 bytes per telldir(3) call.
Speedup for telldir()-heavy directory traversals is about 20-30x for one
million files per directory.
