OK, I was little bit worried to pull pgtable.h include in, but my cross
compile build test battery didn't show any issues. I do not have m68k
there though. So let's just do this differently. The following updated
patch hasn't passed the full build test battery but it should just work.
Thanks for your testing.

Subject: [PATCH] mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc users
__vmalloc_node_flags used to be static inline but this has changed by
"mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers" because kvmalloc_node needs to use
it as well and the code is outside of the vmalloc proper. I haven't
realized that changing this will lead to a subtle bug though. The
function is responsible to track the caller as well. This caller is
then printed by /proc/vmallocinfo. If __vmalloc_node_flags is not inline
then we would get only direct users of __vmalloc_node_flags as callers
(e.g. v[mz]alloc) which reduces usefulness of this debugging feature
considerably. It simply doesn't help to see that the given range belongs
to vmalloc as a caller:
0xffffc90002c79000-0xffffc90002c7d000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N0=3
0xffffc90002c81000-0xffffc90002c85000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3
0xffffc90002c8d000-0xffffc90002c91000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3
0xffffc90002c95000-0xffffc90002c99000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3
We really want to catch the _caller_ of the vmalloc function. Fix this
issue by making __vmalloc_node_flags static inline again and export
__vmalloc_node_flags_caller for kvmalloc_node().
