I've posted the patches needed for Workstation 12.5.2 on Linux kernel 4.9 here: Re: VMware Workstation 12.5.2 build-4638234 does not compile on Fedora 25 4.9.3-200.fc25.x86_64 #1 S...

Those patches should get you past this point.  I'd recommend updating to Workstation 12.5.2 before applying those patches... They *might* work on 12.5.0, but it's not recommended to mix-and-match like that.

Cheers,
