I only got this through randconfig builds on mainline.

Jérôme initially created

6b368cd4a44c ("mm/hmm: avoid bloating arch that do not make use of HMM")

which is part of v4.16. He noticed a build error that he fixed up with commit

b28b08de436a ("mm/hmm: fix header file if/else/endif maze")

which you backported as 25df8b83e867 into linux-4.16.y after v4.16.4.
After that originally landed in mainline, I found another build error that
I fixed with commit

9d8a463a7016 ("mm/hmm: fix header file if/else/endif maze, again")

This fixes the issue that Randy is reporting now, please add that into
v4.16.5.
