Actually, it's quite the opposite: "ifndef" usage made it vailable at all times
to the userspace, and this change has actually broken building strace
with the latest kernel headers[1][2].  There could be some debate
whether having these F_*64 definitions exposed to the user space 64-bit
applications, but it seems that were no harm (as they were exposed already
for quite some time), and they are useful at least for strace for compat
application tracing purposes.
