Another thing that's missing here is that the warning is probably when
this file is included from asm-offests.h or some .S file.

That's not the correct fix since PUD_SHIFT should always be defined.
When CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS == 3, pgtable-types.h includes
asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h and this defines PUD_SHIFT. We either got
ARM64_MEMSTART_SHIFT defined in the wrong file or kernel-pgtable.h does
not pull the relevant headers (either directly or via an included
header). Even if kernel-pgtable.h ends up including the nopud/nopmd
headers, P*D_SHIFT is guarded by an #indef __ASSEMBLY__ in those files.

Something like below appears to fix this, though I'm not particularly
fond of guarding the ARM64_MEMSTART_* definitions by #ifndef
__ASSEMBLY__ for no apparent reason (could add a comment though):

To avoid guarding the ARM64_MEMSTART_* definitions, we could instead
move the P*D_SHIFT definitions in asm-generic/pgtable-nop*d.h outside
the #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ block.
