I see the problem with both patches.

It is similar cycle:
spinlock_types.h -> lockdep.h -> printk.h -> ratelimit.h -> spinlock_types.h
But this time it happens via list.h -> kernel.h ->printk.h.
Where list.h needs READ_ONCE() stuff from compiler.h.
My "allmodconfig" build has successfully finished with the following extra
fix on top of the two patches:
diff --git a/include/linux/list.h b/include/linux/list.h
index aff44d34f4e4..6d606c4036ce 100644
--- a/include/linux/list.h
+++ b/include/linux/list.h
@@ -6,7 +6,7 @@
#include <linux/stddef.h>
#include <linux/poison.h>
#include <linux/const.h>
-#include <linux/kernel.h>
+#include <linux/compiler.h>
/*
* Simple doubly linked list implementation.
I suggest to bundle this into the 2nd patch that makes linux/printk.h
self-contained.
Best Regards,
Petr
PS: And yes, it makes sense to push both patches via a single tree to
make sure that the lockdep.h split is done first.
