Probably not.. but why even bother worrying about individual flags? The
insert and unshare flags have been around for 9 and 8 years
respectively, none of these were fully ifdef'd from the beginning, and
I'm not aware of anyone that has actually complained.

I'm not convinced that this patch matters for anybody in practice. I
included it just because it was simple enough to include the minimum
mechanical fix and I was slightly curious if somebody could come up with
a more elegant solution. In the spirit of being practical, maybe the
better approach here is to just remove the (at least the falloc flag
related) ifdefs entirely? We can always add them back if somebody
complains...
