      make ARCH=um mrproper

  This patch fixes ...

Sorry, I do not understand this paragraph.


Brendan Higgins just reported the build error
in the out-of-tree build after in-tree build.


[1] make ARCH=um defconfig all
[2] make ARCH=um mrproper
[3] make ARCH=um O=foo defconfig all

  -> build error

Ins't it?

Instead, adding Fixes tag is the convention.

Fixes: a788b2ed81ab ("kbuild: check arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated
before out-of-tree build")

Maybe, this can be also a tag.

This hunk is unneeded.

This problem is only related to ARCH=um builds.
So, it should be fixed in arch/um/Makefile.
