Fix: don't define variables in headers

From Hollis Blanchard <hollis_blanchard@mentor.com>:

handle: This was meant to be a forward declaration of

  struct lttng_ust_shm_handle

so just removing the "*handle" part. This can be considered as a
cleanup (or a fix without actual runtime effect).

lttng_client_callbacks_*: if the cb values would have been used in the
consumer daemon, this would have caused an issue: these would be set to
NULL instead of the actual callback pointers. So in a way this is a fix,
but it does not have any runtime impact at this point.
