This change to include/uapi/linux/fs.h is similar to but not as thorough as:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/27/93

(The above linked patch is the patch Aurelien referenced in the
"Argument type for FS_IOC_GETFLAGS/FS_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctls" thread on
linux-fsdevel; see
<http://mid.gmane.org/20131127231430.GG29912@hall.aurel32.net>.)
