That's probably true. But the patch in question adds the __KERNEL__
test, and *that* seems required.

If you think that we should instead drop the __linux__ test, than yes,
that part sounds fine. I thought that by "linux internal header" you
meant the fuse.h file, but you seem to mean the indirectly included
<inux/types.h>. That's fine.
