Subject: [PATCH 0/1] bug: fix problem including <linux.bug.h> from linux/kernel.h

PATCH 1 is a follow-up patch to my previous patch "[PATCH v4 2/2]
kernel.h: handle pointers to arrays better in container_of()":
<https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/23/641>.  The previous patch introduced a
build failure:
<https://lists.01.org/pipermail/kbuild-all/2017-May/034127.html>.  The
build failure was due to a circular dependency introduced by the
previous patch and occurs when <asm-generic/bug.h> is included before
<linux/kernel.h> for architectures that select `CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG`.
PATCH 1 fixes this circular dependency.  Ideally, it should be applied
before my previous patch to avoid breakage during git bisect builds, but
can be applied after if that is not a concern.
