No, only when building oot modules (virtualbox, and I found batman-adv
having the same issue), so I reduced it to the most simple test case. This
actually builds a fail.ko on 4.4.7 with CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT=y without
errors.

A current fix for oot modules would be to add:

#include <uapi/linux/pkt_cls.h>

in front of that include for kernel >= 4.5…
