[RFC][PATCH] uapi: Remove the inclusion of linux/mount.h from uapi/linux/fs.h

Hi,

We're seeing issues in autofs and xfstests whereby linux/mount.h (the UAPI
version) as included indirectly by linux/fs.h is conflicting with
sys/mount.h (there's a struct and an enum).

Would it be possible to just remove the #include from linux/fs.h (as patch
below) and rely on those hopefully few things that need mount flags that don't
use the glibc header for them working around it by configuration?

uapi: Remove the inclusion of linux/mount.h from uapi/linux/fs.h
    
Remove the inclusion of <linux/mount.h> from uapi/linux/fs.h as it
interferes with definitions in sys/mount.h - but linux/fs.h is needed by
various things where mount flags and structs are not.

Note that this will likely have the side effect of causing some build
failures.
