Shouldn't this go into mm/Makefile instead?

Does this really work if one is workig off of a very clean build
like make mrproper and then make menuconfig or or mrproper followed
by a defconfig file ? Have you tried it for both cases po2 and npo2?

Because isn't include/generated/struct_page_size.h generated? At
which point does it get generated and why would the condition hole
true that the file exists at a new 'make menuconfig' time?
