Fix build on fedora-14 (and other older systems)

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

Seems Fedora-20 and below fail, hopefully this fixes
them.

Works for me from openSUSE Tumbleweed to SLE11 SP4 (kernel 3.0). The
build on SLE11 SP2 (also 3.0 but older headers in /usr/include)
fails with unknown MS_PRIVATE and MS_REC in lib/bpf.c
Newer systems have these defined in <sys/mount.h>

Including <linux/fs.h> directly in lib/bpf.c fixes that but if we do
that, a copy of the file would have to be included.

I'm not sure if it is acceptable to modify a file which is supposed to
be a direct copy of kernel uapi header.

I am not accepting this patch because all files in include/linux are automatically
regenerated from kernel 'make install_headers'. No exceptions. If you want to change
a header in include/linux it has to go through upstream kernel inclusion.

It would be wrong to add this to the actual kernel header I think.

Do you have another suggestion for fixing iproute2 compile?

Thanks,
