Subject: [PATCH 5.8 052/232] powerpc: Fix circular dependency between percpu.h and mmu.h

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@...erman.id.au>

commit 0c83b277ada72b585e6a3e52b067669df15bcedb upstream.

Recently random.h started including percpu.h (see commit
f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt and
activity")), which broke corenet64_smp_defconfig:

  In file included from /linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/paca.h:18,
                   from /linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/percpu.h:13,
                   from /linux/include/linux/random.h:14,
                   from /linux/lib/uuid.c:14:
  /linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/mmu.h:139:22: error: unknown type name 'next_tlbcam_idx'
    139 | DECLARE_PER_CPU(int, next_tlbcam_idx);

This is due to a circular header dependency:
  asm/mmu.h includes asm/percpu.h, which includes asm/paca.h, which
  includes asm/mmu.h

Which means DECLARE_PER_CPU() isn't defined when mmu.h needs it.

We can fix it by moving the include of paca.h below the include of
asm-generic/percpu.h.

This moves the include of paca.h out of the #ifdef __powerpc64__, but
that is OK because paca.h is almost entirely inside #ifdef
CONFIG_PPC64 anyway.

It also moves the include of paca.h out of the #ifdef CONFIG_SMP,
which could possibly break something, but seems to have no ill
effects.
