No. The test system I used is running glibc 2.35 and it seems that including
fcntl.h was added to sys/mount.h in 2.36. See glibc commit
78a408ee7ba0 ("linux: Add open_tree")
Generally we should avoid indirect inclusions and here I think certainly so
since it cannot be guaranteed that fcntl.h would be available via
sys/mount.h.
