[glibc PATCH] fcntl: put F_OFD_* constants under #ifdef __USE_FILE_OFFSET64


The Linux kernel expects a flock64 structure whenever you use OFD locks
with fcntl64. Unfortunately, you can currently build a 32-bit program
that passes in a struct flock when it calls fcntl64.

Only define the F_OFD_* constants when __USE_FILE_OFFSET64 is also
defined, so that the build fails in this situation rather than
producing a broken binary.
