Recent changes have added an include of as-layout.h to pgtable.h.
However this introduces a circular dependency during asm-offsets
generation as as-layout.h depends on asm-offsets and pgtable.h is an
input for asm-offsets.
Building from a clean state results in the following error:
CC arch/um/kernel/asm-offsets.s
In file included from arch/um/include/asm/pgtable.h:48,
from include/linux/pgtable.h:6,
from include/linux/mm.h:31,
from include/linux/pid_namespace.h:7,
from include/linux/ptrace.h:10,
from include/linux/audit.h:13,
from arch/um/kernel/asm-offsets.c:8:
arch/um/include/shared/as-layout.h:9:10: fatal error: generated/asm-offsets.h: No such file or directory
9 | #include <generated/asm-offsets.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:182: arch/um/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1
As the inclusion of as-layout.h in pgtable.h is not yet needed while
asm-offsets are generated, break the dependency here.

Oops, my bad. Thanks for the fix!
