Yes, please, otherwise userspace could have a
-Wimplicit-function-definition warning from including this header,
since it would look like a function call to a previously undeclared
function.
Actually, it looks like include/uapi/linux/posix_types.h includes it
unconditionally, and many other headers under include/uapi/ include
include/uapi/linux/posix_types.h (unconditionally). So it may be ok
to just include stddef.h unconditionally, but please do so in addition
to the current diff you have.
